A poor wise person is greater than a rich fool.

Wisdom at the mountain-foot sees farther than intelligence at the mountaintop.

A cat may have nine lives, but a wise person has a hundred.

A few hours spent reading a book is better than a lifetime of ignorance.

God created sages because He wanted to leave the light on in the universe.

A wise person makes one error,and learns ten lessons.He makes two errors,and learns twenty lessons.He makes three errors,and learns thirty lessons.He makes few errors,and learns countless lessons.

We all come into the world rocks, but the enlightened leave it diamonds.

A fool stumbles when he walks; the wise are not hampered even when they run.

Sages shine so they can see the world, not so the world can see them.
