"Grace comes to forgive and then forgive..." - Quote by Rumi

“To me nothing in the world is as precious as a genuine smile, especially from a child.”

“Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy, absent-minded.Someone sober will worry about events going badly.Let the lover be.”

“Keep your intelligence white hot and your grief glistening“ so your life will stay fresh.”

“Look Back in forgiveness, forward in hope, down in compassion and up in gratitude.”

“Forgiving and being forgiven are two names for the same thing. The important thing is that a discord has been resolved.”

“Look at children. Of course they may quarrel, but generally speaking they do not harbor ill feelings as much or as long as adults do. Most adults have the advantage of education over children, but what is the use of an education if they show a big smile while hiding negative feelings deep inside? Children don�t usually act in such a manner. If they feel angry with someone, they express it, and then it is finished. They can still play with that person the following day.”

“Grace releases and affirms. It doesn't smother. Grace values the dignity of individuals. It doesn't destroy. Grace supports and encourages. It isn't jealous or suspicious.”

“Every midwife knowsthat not until a mother’s wombsoftens from the pain of laborwill a way unfoldand the infant find that opening to be born.Oh friend!There is treasure in your heart,it is heavy with child.Listen.All the awakened ones,like trusted midwives are saying,'welcome this pain.It opens the dark passage of Grace.”

“Whatever is graceful is virtuous, and whatever is virtuous is graceful.”
