“Sometimes there are accidents in our lives the skillful extrication from which demands a little folly.”

“We should wish for few things with eagerness, if we perfectly knew the nature of that which was the object of our desire.”

“Because being comfortable meant she might lower her guard, and she could not let that happen.”

“Secrets are things we give to others to keep for us.”

“Allow yourself to trust joy and embrace it. You will find you dance with everything.”

“Sincerity is the highest complement you can pay”

“The myriad things are complete in us. There is no greater joy than to reflect on ourselves and become sincere.”
