All cultures have things to learn from all other cultures. Don't get stuck in your culture! Go beyond it! Get out of your aquarium; get out of your farm; get out of your castle; break your bell jar! Give chance to other cultures and to other opinions! This is the best way for you to see the insufficiencies, absurdities and stupidities in your culture!

The best thing about a horrible city is that it makes you to understand the beauty of the pastoral life! The bad crystallizes the value of the good.

Kings also sleep; but the clever ones, with one eye open, just like dolphins and whales

A rotten ship is not afraid of the storms!

Flexibility is one of the main roads leading to happiness.

Be silent when you are criticised so that you can hear the critiques well!

Without living the most chaotic internal storms, you can't get the calmness of the wisdom! Wisdom is the child of the storm.
