We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.

Tomorrow hopes we have learned something from yesterday.

Yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.

Don't expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong.

There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths.

In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.

The wise man should restrain his senses like the crane and accomplish his purpose with due knowledge of his place, time and ability.

A mistake is always forgivable, rarely excusable and always unacceptable.

A single lie destroys a whole reputation of integrity.

You place too much importance... on the so-called purity of blood! You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be!

The first thing you'll have to do, is the last thing you wished.

Where wisdom reigns, there is no conflict between thinking and feeling.

If a man could have half of his wishes, he would double his troubles.

And no one will listen to us until we listen to ourselves.

Nobody has the power to take two steps together; you can take only one step at a time.

Take care of the pieces well. The whole will take care of itself.

Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting.

Boredom is the root of all evil - the despairing refusal to be oneself.

The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.

You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean, in a drop.
