Shades of Sparkle
The smile that sparkles through a ring of tears is ever bewitching. How abject and pallid is surely the smile following on an outburst of mockery!
Misplaced Adoration
When man ceases to be a man to turn into a demon, he honours and adores wealth in lieu of piety, prosperity in lieu of sanctity, sensuality in lieu of chastity and self-conceit in lieu of equanimity.
Thought versus Speech
Keep pure the translucent stream of your innermost thoughts. Let it not be sullied by even a speck of impurity. For speech, after all, is the daughter of thought, born with the imprint of her progenitor on her forehead. If the parent is besmirched, how can the daughter remain unsullied?
