Nothing is worse than active ignorance.

Everything is simpler than you think and at the same time more complex than you imagine

Nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at.

I am proud of my heart alone, it is the sole source of everything, all our strenght, happiness & misery. All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own

Let everyone sweep in front of his own door, and the whole world will be clean.
