If you have good neighbours, you can bear living in a bad cottage; if you have bad neighbours, you can't bear living even in a good palace!

We go up to the high places not to see what is up there but to see how the lower places look from the top!

Behind your every bad fate, almost always there lie your own stupid mistakes! Behind your every good fate, almost always there lie your own clever deeds! Skies have nothing whatsoever to do with your fate!

Let the cats rule the world; first thing they will do is to increase the number of mousetraps! Let the rats rule the world; first thing they will do is to increase the number of dogs!

As long as you don't stop producing guns, you can't be a decent country!

In the very darkness of a stupid society, even a little candle deserves a great honour!

In every defeat, there develops a silent embryo of victory; in every failure, under the rubbles, there appears a divine key to success.
