When you master the past, you are a scholar.When you master the present, you are a saint.When you master the future, you are a sage.

A scholar’s thoughts are higher than a mountain. A saint's heart is deeper than an ocean. A sinner’s conscience is narrower than a tunnel. A sage’s soul is wider than a world.

A scholar's mind is tall. A saint's heart is wide. A sage's soul is deep.

A thief who promises you the world is no better than a saint who denies you the universe.

Truth is a liar's enemy, but a saint's friend.

An angry saint is still much better than a happy sinner.

A shrewd sinner has many advantages over a foolish saint.

Every world has its villains, every universe has its saints, every era has its heroes.

Every world has its villains, every universe has its saints.
