God created music as a common language for all men. It inspires the poets, the composers and the architects. It lures us to search our souls for the meaning of the mysteries described in ancient books.
inspirational wisdom anger
Exaggeration is truth that has lost its temper.
roots evil giving
You are good when you strive to give of yourself. Yet you are not evil when you seek gain for yourself. For when you strive for gain you are but a root that clings to the earth and sucks at her breast. Surely the fruit cannot say to the root, 'Be like me, ripe and full and ever giving of your abundance.' For to the fruit giving is a need as receiving is a need to the root.
love song wind
He alone is great who turns the voice of the wind into a song made sweeter by his own loving.
morning fun laughter
And let your best be for your friend. If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also. For what is your friend that your should seek with him hours to kill? Seek with him always hours to live. For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness. And in the sweetness of friendship, let there be laughter, and the sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
brother kindred true-worth
He who understands you is greater kin to you than your own brother. For even your own kindred neither understand you nor know your true worth.
inspirational wisdom knowledge
Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.
life spiritual wisdom
Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper, That we may record our emptiness.
friendship grieving hiking
When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
learning ends programming
Vague and nebulous is the beginning of all things, but not their end.
spiritual pain space
There are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue; They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space.
liars men thieves
A thief is a man in need. A liar is a man in fear.
freedom forget form
Forgetfulness is a form of freedom.
love-is compassion empathy
Love is not without its flaws. The stronger the love, the more it tests you. Compassion and empathy will make true love persist.
