"Nature has given us two ears, two eyes, but one tongue, to the end that we should hear and see more than we speak." ~ Socrates
The tighter you squeeze, the less you have.
The best leaders of all, the people know not they exist. They turn to each other and say We did it ourselves.
When you pass through, no one can pin you down, no one can call you back.
The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there.
Man stands in his own shadow and wonders why it's dark.
In adversity it is easy to despise life; he is truly brave who can endure a wretched life. [Lat., Rebus in angustis facile est contemnere vitam; Fortiter ille facit qui miser esse potest.]
