No light is brighter than wisdom. Wisdom is the light in the world.

Wisdom makes light the darkness of ignorance.

Life is uncertain; death is certain.

How long the night to the watchman, How long the road to the weary traveller, How long the wandering of many lives To the fool who misses the way.

There are no chains like hate...dwelling on your brother's faults multiplies your own. You are far from the end of your journey.

However many holy words you read, However many you speak, What good will they do you If you do not act on upon them?

If a man going down into a river, swollen and swiftly flowing, is carried away by the current - how can he help others across?
