Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens
A single lie destroys a whole reputation of integrity.
Gravity is only the bark of wisdom's tree; but it preserves it
There is an art, or rather a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
You don't want to lose your old friend - the misery - You have invested too much into false - Hence the fear to be exposed -to be true - to be naked as you are.
My meditation is simple. It does not require any complex practices. It is simple. It is singing. It is dancing. It is sitting silently.

I don't know, I don't care, and it doesn't make any difference.
Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy.
Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent.
Every aquarium will eventually leak.
Each problem that I solved became a rule which served afterwards to solve other problems.
Do not reveal what you have thought upon doing, but by wise council keep it secret being determined to carry it into execution.
