Pleasure awakens the body, wisdom awakens the mind, joy awakens the heart, and love awakens the soul.

Falling in love with a woman’s body is lust, with a woman’s mind is sense, with a woman’s heart is virtue, and with a woman’s soul is wisdom.

A heart's wound heals quicker than a soul's scratch.

The wise are like a river; they go forward and upward, never backward or downward.

Love is black. Love is white. Love is brown. Love is humanity.

If you kiss her cheeks, she is your friend; if you kiss her lips, she is your lover; if you kiss her heart, she is your soul mate.
