Knowest thou not the beauty of thine own face? Quit this temper that leads thee to war with thyself.
We are the mirror - As well as the face in it.
No one knows what makes the soul wake up so happy! Maybe a dawn breeze has blown the veil from the face of God.
Let soul speak with the silent articulation of a face.
Tear off the mask. Your face is glorious
Have you ever gotten breathless before from a beautiful face, for i see you there, my dear.
In the garden I see only your face From trees and blossoms I inhale only your fragrance.
Contain all human faces in your own without any judgment of them
You don't see your own face, your own beauty Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.......... .
Don't be fooled by my beauty - the light of my face comes from the candle of my spirit.
We owe thankfulness to God, not sour faces.
That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquillity.
Listen! Clam up your mouth and be silent like an oyster shell, for that tongue of yours is the enemy of the soul, my friend. When the lips are silent, the heart has a hundred tongues.
This is what love does and continues to do. It tastes like honey to adults and milk to children.
