O FRIEND! In the garden of thy heart plant naught but the rose of love, and from the nightingale of affection and desire loosen not thy hold. Treasure the companionship of the righteous and eschew all fellowship with the ungodly.
"...religion must be the cause of unity, harmony and agreement among mankind. If it be the cause of discourd and hostility, if it leads to separation and creates conflict, the absence of religion would be preferable in the world...
Each one of us here today will, at one time in our lives look upon a loved one who is in need and ask the same question. "We are willing to help, Lord, but what, if anything, is needed?" It is true we can seldom help those closest to us. Either we don't know what part of ourselves to give or more often than not, the part we have to give is not wanted. And so it is those we live with and should know who elude us, but we can still love them. We can love completely, without complete understanding.

I have learned through bitter experience the one supreme lesson: to conserve my anger, and as heat conserved is transmitted into energy, even so our anger controlled can be transmitted into a power...

When we think carefully, we see that the brief elation we experience when appeasing sensual impulses may not be very different from what the drug addict feels when indulging his or her habit. Temporary relief is soon followed by a craving for more. And in just the same way that taking drugs in the end only causes trouble, so, too, does much of what we undertake to fulfill our immediate sensory desires.

Forbearance is the greatest virtue. Cover the blemishes, faults and weaknesses of others. Excuse their feelings, buiry their weakness in silence . . . and forgive.
Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices.

I think the first virtue is to restrain the tongue; he approaches nearest to gods who knows how to be silent, even though he is in the right.

Opportunity
may knock only once, but temptation leans on the doorbell.
Self-respect is the root of discipline: The
sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.
Pity and forbearance
should characterize all acts of justice.
That one I love who is incapable of ill will, and returns love for hatred. Living beyond the reach of I and mind, and of pain and pleasure, full of mercy, contented, self-controlled, with all his heart and all his mind given to Me -- with such a one I am in love.
