Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud;Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun,And loathsome canker lies in sweetest bud.All men make faults.

A good heart is the sun and the moon; or, rather, the sun and not the moon, for it shines bright and never changes.

If you don't feel the pointed things in life, you'll soon take the soft ones for granted.

a tea stain is similar to that of your own soul. if your shirt were to be stained with tea do not put it aside out of sight for it will dry and become embedded in your soul to be expressed as your failures in life. the one who works hard at the stain putting effort and time in removing it will be expressed as one of a clean soul and a virtuous nature. do not let the tea stain, stain your life.

We make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars: as if we were villains by necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion.

I'd rather let you cover all my roads with thorns than with dead roses.
