Sages are divine springs; no matter how many draw from them, they never run empty.

A student graduates when he learns to swim, but a master graduates when he learns to walk on water.

To be blind momentarily when light hits your eyes is better than to be blind permanently when darkness hits your soul.

When the nest becomes too small a bird is ready to spread its wings and fly.

Alone a candle can only light a room, but in thousands they can even light a city.

The uglier the storm the lovelier the rainbow.

Light wears out the eyes but does not wear out the soul.

If you throw a stone into the ocean, it will reach the bottom; if you throw a word into someone’s heart, it will reach their soul.

I have the soul of a white man, the soul of a black man, the soul of an Asian man; the soul of every man.
