• It's your worst sin saving your f***ing life; It's the devil's knife carving holes into your soul so angels have a way to make their way inside; Life doesn't rhyme. Still, life is poetry, not math. The whole world's a stage, but the stage is a meditation mat. You tilt your head back; you breathe. when your heart is broken, you plant seeds in the cracks and you pray for rain.

  Andrea Gibson

  Rain, Heart, Angel

• In every man's mind the good seeds of liberty are planted, and he who brings his fellow down so low, as to make him contented with a condition of slavery, commits the highest crime against God and man. Brethren, your oppressors aim to do this. They endeavor to make you as much like brutes as possible. When they have blinded the eyes of your mind-when they have embittered the sweet waters of the light which shines from the word of God-then, and not till then has American slavery done its perfect work.

• Gardeners know that you must nourish the soil if you want healthy plants. You must water the plants adequately, especially when seeds are germinating and sprouting, and they should be planted in a nutrient-rich soil. Why should nutrition matter less in the creation of young humans than it does in young plants? I'm sure that it doesn't.

• In the depth of my soul there is
  A wordless song - a song that lives
  In the seed of my heart.
  It refuses to melt with ink on
  Parchment; it engulfs my affection
  In a transparent cloak and flows,
  But not upon my lips.

• All that you see was and is for your sake. The numerous books, uncanny markings, and beautiful thoughts are the ghosts of souls who preceded you. The speech they weave is a link between you and your human siblings. The consequences that cause sorrow and rapture are the seeds that the past has sown in the field of the soul, and by which the future shall profit.

• The seed of a bamboo tree is planted, fertilized and watered. Nothing happens for the first year.
  There´s no sign of growth.
  Not even a hint.
  The same thing happens - or doesn´t happen - the second year.
  And then the third year.
  The tree is carefully watered and fertilized each year,
  but nothing shows. No growth. No anything.
  For eight years it can continue. Eight years!
  Then - after the eight years of fertilizing and watering have passed, with nothing to show for it - the bamboo tree suddenly sprouts and grows thirty feet in three months!

• In every failure is the seed of success...
  Our failures are stepping stones in the mechanics of creation, bringing us even closer to our goals. In reality, there is no such thing as failure. What we call failure is just a mechanism through which we can learn to do things right.
