"If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?"

"The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along."

"Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder."

"Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words."

"Like a sculptor, if necessary,carve a friend out of stone.Realize that your inner sight is blindand try to see a treasure in everyone."
