No man can be a pure specialist without being in the strict sense an idiot.

A man's true character comes out when he's drunk.

Wisdom cries out in the streets, and no man regards it.

The foolish man conceives the idea of 'self.' The wise man sees there is no ground on which to build the idea of 'self;' thus, he has a right conception of the world and well concludes that all compounds amassed by sorrow will be dissolved again, but the truth will remain.

A wise man should not divulge the formula of a medicine which he has well prepared; an act of charity which he has performed; domestic conflicts; private affairs with his wife; poorly prepared food he may have been offered; or slang he may have heard.

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