The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is silence, the second listening, the third memory, the fourth practice, the fifth teaching others.
As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
Riches bring anxiety; wisdom gives peace of mind.
Drink poison rather than worry.
Misfortune may become fortune through patience.
Plan for this world as if you expect to live forever; but plan for the hereafter as if you expect to die tomorrow.
