Give thy thoughts no tongue.

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.

Train your eyes and ears; train your nose and tongue. The senses are good friends when they are trained. Train your body in deeds, train your tongue in words, train your mind in thoughts. This training will take you beyond sorrow.

Mysterious language is not a sign of wisdom. The wiser a person is, the simpler the language he uses to express his thoughts.

I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express it in words afterwards.

Learning and wisdom are superfluities, the surface glitter merely, but it is the heart that is the seat of all power.
