In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.

Men build too many walls and not enough bridges.

Choose rather to be strong of soul than strong of body.

Without courage, wisdom bears no fruit.

It is neither good nor bad, but thinking makes it so.

There is a wisdom of the head, and... there is a wisdom of the heart.

Wisdom begins at the end.

The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there...and still on your feet.

The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.

To me, being an intellectual doesn't mean knowing about intellectual issues; it means taking pleasure in them.

If I speak of myself in different ways, that is because I look at myself in different ways.

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have.

Most of what matters in our lives takes place in our absence.

Be realistic: Plan for a miracle

Stupidity is a talent for misconception.

The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him.

Learn as though you would never be able to master it; hold it as though you would be in fear of losing it.

Take care of the pieces well. The whole will take care of itself.

Yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.
