#soul

The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.

The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster.

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

In banquets remember that you entertain two guests, body and soul: and what you give to the body you soon lose, but what you give to the soul remains forever.

You are a little soul carrying around a corpse.

God has entrusted me with myself. No man is my master, for God has made me free.

To this God you ought to swear an oath, such as the soldiers swear to Caesar. They swear to prefer the safety of Caesar before all things; and will you not swear to prefer your own safety?

Can you cleanse your inner vision until you see nothing but the light?

Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words.

When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.

Ten times a day must thou overcome thyself: that imparteth a fine fatigue, and is poppy-juice to the soul.

Ten truths a day must thou find; else thou seekest truth in the night, and thy soul remaineth hungry.

The voice of beauty speaks softly: it steals only into the most awakened souls.

To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.

You are already that which you are seeking.

People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls.

My soul, where are you? Do you hear me? I speak, I call you—are you there? I have returned, I am here again.

The soul demands your folly; not your wisdom.

The dream is a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the soul.

What is necessary is to give space to the quiet, subtle processes of the soul that happen when we cease to force our will.

Bizarre as it may sound, there are times when it is better to be unfaithful to one's principles than to one's soul.

Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul be just another human soul.

The soul is the living relationship with the unconscious.

The seat of the soul is where the inner and the outer worlds meet.

Your soul has its own timing. Be patient with its ripening.

I attend as a midwife to the soul; the god compels me to foster the birth of truth in others, while withholding from me the power to produce it myself.

Speak, that I may see you; for the soul reveals its stature through the words it chooses.

Do not let the unexamined opinions of the multitude dictate the health of your soul.

I spend my whole life in going about, persuading you not to care for your bodies or your wealth, but first and foremost to care about the greatest improvement of the soul.
