The ignorant man is an ox. He grows in size, not in wisdom.

The tongue of a fool is the key of his counsel, which, in a wise man, wisdom hath in keeping.

Fools call wise men fools. A wise man never calls any man a fool.

The world is afflicted by death and decay. But the wise do not grieve, having realized the nature of the world.

Follow your heart, but check it with your head.

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.
