We make our fortunes, and we call them fate. |
The geat blessing of mankind are within us and within our reach; but we shut our eyes, and like people in the dark, we fall foul upon the very thing we search for, without finding it. |
Life is like the dice that, falling, still show a different face. So life, though it remains the same, is always presenting different aspects. |
As I grow to understand life less and less, I learn to love it more and more. |
The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is silence, the second listening, the third memory, the fourth practice, the fifth teaching others. |
The only medicine for suffering, crime, and all the other woes of mankind, is wisdom.

The boundaries which divide life from death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where one ends, and the other begins? |
