Birthless and deathless and changeless remainaineth the spirit forever;
Death hath not touched it at all, dead though the house of it seems!

That what will come, and must come, shall come well.

Soft to the weak and noble for the strong.

Make all flesh kin. There is no caste in blood.

The lily's cup which hardly moists the field.
