Knowledge can protect you much better than a strong castle!

Search for the secret stairs of the wise men; when you find them, lose no time to start ascending!

The best advice I've ever heard about anything is this: Don't exaggerate! When you work hard, when you sleep long, when you love much, when you are very sad, always remember this advice: Don't exaggerate!

All is flux, nothing stays still, as Heraclitus said. By the time I wrote this, everything has changed in the universe; everything but the taste of the cakes baked at home!

Do not admire the warriors; do not admire the fighters; condemn the fist! Get rid of this low culture of wildness! Admire the nonviolent; applaud the peaceful; despise the brute force!

Do not complain about the length of the road! What will you do when the road finishes? Let it continue!

Very old people are the real victors of this world! And the bitterish beauty in their faces is the most valuable beauty of the earth!
