“Don’t forget that birds with broken wings walking on the ground were once flying high up in the sky.”

Always seek for balance in your life: If you stayed long in the darkness, walk long in the light; if you talked too much, stay silent for a good while; if you climbed the high mountains, hike long on the plains! Balance everything!

When you see your fellow religious man, don’t call him brother; but when you see a man of honour, a man of goodness, a man of peace, a man of ethics, now you can call him as your brother!

The longest distance in the universe is not between the stars, but between the religion and the truth!

In a marshland amongst the crocodiles, there float beautiful water lilies! Even in the Hell, one can find the good and the beauty.

Nietzsche says God is dead. Probably now God says Nietzsche is dead! The one that will die is religion, not the God! God will always live!

At whatever age you find the truth, that will be your real birth year! That’s why man can be born even at the age of eighty!

You cannot disgrace a disgraceful man; you cannot make a shameless man feel ashamed; you cannot make a cockroach a cockroach, because it is already a cockroach!

If you have good friends, don’t look for treasure because you are already rich; if you have just treasure, look for good friends, because you are still poor!

Smile creates love and peace; love and peace create smile.

Give food to the birds, you will then be surrounded by the wings of love, you will be encompassed by the joys of little silent hearts!

No owl is afraid of the night, no snake of the swamp and no traitor of the treason!

There is a hidden message in every waterfall. It says, if you are flexible, falling will not hurt you!

If a supernatural power tries to make you a saint or an emperor, refuse it, because the greatest beauty of life hides in having no position whatsoever! Positionless is the best position!

Archimedes once said that ‘Give me where to stand, and I will move the earth.’ There is a much more difficult task than this: To try to lift an ignorant up from where he stands, because he is heavily chained to the stupidity!

Don’t make friends with shadows; because shadows cannot smile!

The face of tomorrow can be seen only in tomorrow.

I do feel it’s hard to be modest and humble and egoless when people are telling you you are so great and wanting to give you prizes and energy. I’m trying hard not to be an awful, narcissistic human being.

You know what keeps me humble? Mirrors!

I abominate a humble man, but yet I love to perceive that a man acknowledges the superiority of my sex, and youth and all that kind of thing. . .

I saw that I’d get nowhere on the straight path, and that to go crookedly was straighter.

We must be very humble. We must see the beauty of quietness. We must go through life so inconspicuously that Fate does not notice us. And let us seek the love of simple, ignorant people. Their ignorance is better than all our knowledge.

If economists could manage to get themselves thought of as humble, competent people on a level with dentists, that would be splendid.

My aim then was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us.
