True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.

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.

How blissful it is, for one who has nothing. Attainers-of-wisdom are people with nothing. See him suffering, one who has something, a person bound in mind with people.

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

Know well what leads you forward and what holds you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom.

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
