Wisdom

To be everywhere is to be nowhere.

Words are like signposts: they point to the city, but they are not the city.

The menu is not the meal. The map is not the territory.

Most human beings eat the menu instead of the dinner.

Money is a measure of wealth, but not wealth itself. You cannot eat dollar bills or drink gold.

Real wealth consists in having clean water, fresh air, healthy food, and good friends with whom to share them.

To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.

Don't take yourself so damn seriously. The cosmos is laughing with you, not at you.

The game of life is not a battle between good and evil; it is a play between light and shadow, which together make the picture.

Light cannot exist without darkness, nor solid without space. They go together like crest and trough of a wave.

If you realize that you cannot force yourself to be good, you will begin to understand what real goodness is.

A genuine saint never considers himself holy. He considers himself a normal human being who knows how to be himself.
