Knowledge is merely brilliance in organization of ideas and not wisdom. The truly wise person goes beyond knowledge.

The Master was entirely free from four things: prejudice, foregone conclusions, obstinacy, and egoism.

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

The people may be made to follow a path of action but they may not be made to understand it.

Isn't it a pleasure to study and practice what you have learned? Isn't it also great when friends visit from distant places? If one remains not annoyed when he is not understood by people around him, isn't he a sage?

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.

I do not want a friend who smiles when I smile, who weeps when I weep; for my shadow in the pool can do better than that.
