A cup of wisdom is more valuable than an ocean of intelligence.

It is better to lose friends than to lose your reputation, and better to lose riches than to lose your integrity.

Folly plots a fool's death from the moment they become friends. Wisdom bestows blessings upon a wise man from the moment they wed.

What the wise see eyes closed is greater than what the ignorant see both eyes open.

Action is king, but wisdom is queen.

A sage’s mind is greater than a warrior’s sword.

As light nourishes plants, wisdom nourishes sages.

A wise person is able to bring down a thousand armies with a single insight; with wisdom he successfully engages ten thousand armies with just one.

Wisdom is a reliable companion.
