  • Kandi Tolentinohas quoted5 years ago
    there is nothing to be gained from regret; it changes nothing, leaves us melancholy and in pain for ever
  • Kandi Tolentinohas quoted5 years ago
    Share your cup only
    With those who are beloved and trusted,
    Those pure of heart and full of grace,
    For wine is delicious when shared with the sweet
    But acrid and foul with men of deceit.’
  • Kandi Tolentinohas quoted5 years ago
    Be kind to him who wrongs you
  • moha71028has quoted6 years ago
    Guard your secrets closely
    When they’re told they fly
    If unable to keep treasures in our own heart
  • lilitkhachatrianhas quoted6 years ago
    ‘Unless you seek separation,
    I beg you hold back,
    Stay, jealousy destroys the very thing it loves
    And such betrayal is the death of passion.’
  • Dana Sundetbaevahas quoted6 years ago
    Over the years I found myself increasingly enchanted by the art of writing, humbled by the fact that if I dipped my quill pen in the inkwell and stroked up and down I could express my feelings, each time differently, and I discovered that my handwriting would change according to the words and their meaning. I would spend hours perfecting a particular letter and I learned to form words as if I was drawing – they took the form of horses, gazelles, falcons, running rivers, long eyelashes and even lips.

    God is most great!’

    until we groaned with pleasure
  • resyatanjayahas quoted7 years ago
    you are a charlatan lover
  • resyatanjayahas quoted7 years ago
    Share your cup only
    With those who are beloved and trusted,
    Those pure of heart and full of grace,
    For wine is delicious when shared with the sweet
    But acrid and foul with men of deceit.’
