All things belong to God, as do all places. I am forever a sacrifice to God.
In many a form of goodness, O Love, you show your face. Grant that these forms may penetrate within our hearts. Send elsewhere all malice!
Words can confer strength; they can drain it off; Words can gain friends; they can turn them into enemies; words can elevate or lower the individual. One must learn the habit of making one’s words sweet, soft, and pleasant.
Let your aims be common, and your hearts of one accord, and all of you be of one mind, so you may live well together.
