Where all men think alike,

No one thinks very much.

In prosperity prepare for a change;

In adversity hope for one.

There are hundreds of paths up the mountain,

All leading to the same place,

So it doesn't matter which path you take.

The only person wasting time is

The one who runs around the mountain,

Telling everyone that his or her path is wrong.”

If people are good only because of

they fear punishment and

hope for reward ,

then we are a sorry lot indeed.

Whatever you dwell on in the conscious grows in your experience.

A private sin is not so prejudicial 

in this world, as a public

indecency.

One cannot reflect in streaming water.

Only those who know internal peace

can give it to others.

Health is the greatest possession.

Contentment is the greatest treasure.

Confidence is the greatest friend.

Non-being is the greatest joy.

The silence that accepts merit as the most natural thing in the world is

the highest applause

People in their handling of affairs

often fail when they are about to succeed.

If one remains as careful at the end as

he was at the beginning,

there will be no failure.

Because of a great love,

One is courageous.

Ambition has one heel nailed in well,

though she stretch her fingers to touch the heavens.

If you do not change direction,

you may end up where you are heading.

One who knows, does not speak.

One who speaks, does not know

Life is a series of 
natural and spontaneous changes.

Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow.

Let reality be reality.

Let things flow naturally forward 
in whatever way they like.

The wicked leader is he who the people despise.

The good leader is he who the people revere.

The great leader is he who the people say,

'We did it ourselves.'

There are things known,

and there are things unknown.

And in between are the doors

Honest hearts produce honest actions.

No longer diverted by other emotions,

work the way a cow grazes.

There is danger when a man throws his tongue into high gear before he gets his brain a-going.

Writing is the incurable itch that possesses many.

A love affair with knowledge

will never end in heartbreak.

How you respond to the challenge 

in the second half will determine 

what you become after the game,

whether you are a winner or a loser.

The rich become richer

and the poor become poorer

is a cry heard throughout

the whole civilized world.

You must get involved

to have an impact.

No one is impressed with

the won-lost record of the referee.

To know yet to think that one does not know is best;

Not to know yet to think that one knows will lead to difficulty.

There is pleasure in the pathless woods.

There is rapture on the lonely shore.”

Acting is nothing more or less than playing.

The idea is to humanize life.

Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. 

Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt.

Those who have knowledge, don't predict. Those who predict, don't have knowledge.
