It is not your outward appearance that you should beautify, but your soul, adorning it with good works.

The soul that walks in love neither tires others nor grows tired.

Soul-serving requires a heart that beats hard against the ribs. It requires a soul full of the milk of human kindness. This is the sine qua non of success.

This is what my soul is telling me: be peaceful and love everyone.
