There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay some forms of life arise so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it.
When you are joyous look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Wine comes in at the mouth And love comes in at the eye That's all we shall know for truth Before we grow old and die.
Our will makes constantly a sort of agreement with the world whereby if the world will continually show some respect to the will the will shall consent to be strenuous in its industry.
