Knowledge thrives on its own virtues, ignorance self-destructs on its own vices.

Intelligence is a man. Wisdom is a woman. Enlightenment is both a man and a woman.

Intelligence is a crown worn by the wise that only the enlightened can see.

If you are learned, you have one leg; intelligent, you have two legs; shrewd, you have three legs; wise, you have four legs; but if you are enlightened, you have a thousand legs.

Wisdom is an ocean whose beginning you can see, but whose end you cannot grasp.

True wisdom is like an ocean; the deeper you the greater the treasures you'll find.

Wisdom knows the way, wisdom shows the way, wisdom goes the way, wisdom is the way.

Only fools are born wise.

A tree is naked, no matter how big, if it does not have leaves.
