The wise stand out because they see themselves as part of the Whole. They shine because they don't want to impress. They achieve great things because they don't look for recognition. Their wisdom is contained in what they are, not their opinions. They refuse to argue, so no-one argues with them.

Kindness in words creates confidence.

Kindness in thinking creates profundity. Kindness in giving creates love.

There is no greater sin than desire, No greater curse than discontent, No greater misfortune than wanting something for oneself. Therefore he who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.

That which shrinks must first expand.

Sometimes gain comes from losing, and sometimes loss comes from gaining.

Live simply and virtuously, true to your nature, drawing no line between what is spiritual and what is not.
