Courage is a warrior, wisdom is a sage, virtue is a priest, and love is poet.

A tree is only as good as the seed it is stems from.

Love lost is better than hate found. True criticism is better than false praise. Genuine enemies are better than counterfeit friends.

What would have been the fate of sages if there were no fools?

Lend your ears to the deaf, your eyes to the blind, your hands to the weak, your tongue to the mute, your mind to the perplexed, and your heart to the weary.

Plucking a rose only proves you desire it, but nurturing it proves you love it.

The mind speaks, thought it does not have lips. The heart moves, though it does not have feet. The soul rises, though it does not have wings.

A small sharp axe clears a forest quicker than a big blunt one.

Life is a sweet sour adventure. When you want to go it becomes sweet, when you remain, it becomes sour.

If the past could be changed, it would not exist. If the future could be stopped, it would not survive. If the present could be avoided, it would not prevail.
