The spring of love becomes hidden and soon filled up.

Soon the child learns that there are strangers, and ceases to be a child.

Whoever knows it also knows that in love there is no More and no Less; but that he who loves can only love with the whole heart, and with the whole soul; with all his strength and with all his will.

A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love.

Cut out the love of self, like an autumn lotus, with thy hand!

Would not the child's heart break in despair when the first cold storm of the world sweeps over it, if the warm sunlight of love from the eyes of mother and father did not shine upon him like the soft reflection of divine light and love?
