Intelligence will teach you how to make a living; wisdom will teach you how to make a life.

If the sun shone for itself, it would be blinded by its own light; if a river flowed for itself, it would be drowned by its own weight.

An ugly candle that lights up a home is better than a beautiful lamp that merely decorates a room.

The mind is a temple of knowledge, the heart is a temple of understanding, and the soul is a temple of wisdom; together they are a temple of enlightenment.

If a bird does not bring out all of the songs on its heart, all its symphonies die inside.

The sky won’t shed tears if stars refuse to shine; it will wait for the sun.

You cannot drown a fish in the ocean, no matter how deep you sink it.

The ocean does not lose its splendor because it lost a few drops.

The mind speaks, thought it does not have lips. The heart moves, though it does not have feet. The soul rises, though it does not have wings.
