“Friend, client, child, sickness, fear, want, charity, all knock at once at thy closet door, and say, ‘Come out unto us.’ But keep thy state; come not into their confusion. The power men possess to annoy me, I give them by a weak curiosity. No man can come near me but through my act. “What we love that we have, but by desire we bereave ourselves of the love.”

“Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches.

The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That's its balance.”
