Ignorant people see life as either existence or non-existence, but wise men see it beyond both existence and non-existence to something that transcends them both; this is an observation of the Middle Way.

We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end to them.

When one is friend on himself, also is friend of everybody.

No one can hold absolute power for long, controlled power endures.

Life is long if it is full.

No evil is without its compensation.

What were once vices are the fashion of the day.
