"Stillness creates love. Movement creates life. To be still but still moving, this is everything."

The Silk Worm

I stood before a silk worm one day.
And that night my heart said to me,

"I can do things like that, I can spin skies,
I can be woven into love that can bring warmth to people;
I can be soft against a crying face,
I can be wings that lift, and I can travel on my thousand feet
throughout the earth, my sacs filled with the sacred."

And I replied to my heart,
"Dear, can you really do all those things?"

And it just nodded "Yes" in silence.

So we began and will never cease.

When it is dark enough, men see the stars.

In art the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can inspire.

Be and not seem.

Don't waste yourself in rejection, or bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.

A joke is a very serious thing.

Never, never, never, never give up.

It would be an inconvenient rule if nothing could be done until everything can be done.

Luck is not chance - It's toil - Fortune's expensive smile Is earned.
