It's not what we can do that makes us great, but what we can do but don't which make us great
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Even if you are not evil, pretend to be. It will put off some abuse
The hardest thing is a man to truly know himself
Life is a sweet sour adventure. When you want to go it becomes sweet, when you remain, it becomes sour
The problem with satisfaction is it's a bottomless pit
Forget about the great astounding victory. Focus on winning small victories every day, the final victory will come by itself
You cannot skip the beginning and hope to reach the end. You will fall as soon as you get there
The greatest wisdom is to be happy
Moses Luzzatto always said to be patient during the hard times, that they would have to endure and make sacrifices while they waited for better times to come. He urged Simone and the other Jewish boys not to provoke the Venetians, saying they should remain separate and focus on their work. He said their traditions were crucial to their identity, just as they were for their fathers before them.
~ Riccardo Bruni
Wisdom is to internalise the experiences of other things, of everything! By observing the birds, you internalise the wisdom of the birds; by observing the Moon, you internalise the wisdom of the Moon! Wisdom is a process of adding the experiences of the universe to our minds!
~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Wise man is a wing; stupid man is a hole! You meet a wise man, you rise, you meet a stupid man, and you fall!
Sages shine so they can see the world, not so the world can see them.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
A wise man does not give quick answers to complex questions – he observes, analyzes and contemplates.
~ Eraldo Banovac
The enlightened worry less than others,quarrel less than others,fight less than others,transgress less than others;care more than others,give more than others,and love more than others.
Greater than a sage is the one who taught him; God is the teacher, and the wise are all His students.
