“The water in a vessel is sparkling; the water in the sea is dark. The small truth has words which are clear; the great truth has great silence.”

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.

When old words die out on the tongue, new melodies break forth from the heart; and where the old tracks are lost, new country is revealed with its wonders.

The small wisdom is like water in a glass: clear, transparent, pure. The great wisdom is like the water in the sea: dark, mysterious, impenetrable.

The mountain remains unmoved at its seeming defeat by the mist.

We live in the world when we love it.

Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.
