Don't challenge the world before becoming a big fire; otherwise they will extinguish you even with little spits!

Before climbing the summits, you must first walk in the down valleys!

If you can teach your child to be compassionate and to be ethical, you will be the greatest teacher!

The war against the war is the only war that shall give you a great honour and a real peace!

Under a cherry tree, all burdens of life fly away!

Some ruins of ancient times are much more beautiful than the best buildings of modern eras!

Be as soft as possible, if something good and wise wants to shape you; be as hard as possible, if something bad and foolish wants to shape you!
