“We seek excellence before we seek understanding, wisdom before we gain knowledge, success before we understand hardwork; for this reason we need great teachers and leaders.”

“The stresses and strains of life mould us into our mature selves. The key to life is to accept the wisdom of our later years while maintaining our youthful enthusiasm and curiosity for the world.”

“Earth has two suns: One is outside, the Sun and one is within, the Wisdom! Both shine, both guide and both are bold in challenging the darknesses!”

“Wisdom is to see no thing as a strange thing, no clothe as a strange cloth, no person as a strange person, no event as a strange event! Because in wisdom you understand why the things are as they are!”

“Eyes, for reality. Ears, for truth. Hands, for skill. Feet, for speed. Mind, for wisdom. Heart, for joy. Soul, for love. Life, for enlightenment.”

“A rose with ten thousand thorns is still more valuable than a daisy without even one.”
