The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

We can know only that we know nothing. And that is the highest degree of human wisdom.

All conditioned things are impermanent-when one sees this with wisdom, one turns away from suffering.

Though one should live a hundred years without wisdom and control, yet better, indeed, is a single day's life of one who is wise and meditative.

Long is the night to him who is awake; long is a mile to him who is tired; long is life to the foolish who do not know the true law.

I am not the first Buddha who came upon Earth, nor shall I be the last. In due time, another Buddha will arise in the world - a Holy One, a supremely enlightened One, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe, an incomparable leader of men, a master of angels and mortals.
