“Wise man is the rooster of the universe: He awakens the unawake!”

The best advice I’ve ever heard about anything is this: Don’t exaggerate! When you work hard, when you sleep long, when you love much, when you are very sad, always remember this advice: Don’t exaggerate!

Don’t look for an unshakable rock to stand on; there ain’t any! Rather, learn how to stand still on a shaking rock!

Put a very clever man next to a genius, his brightness will immediately turn to dullness!

When somebody criticise you, be happy and thankful because they have given you an opportunity to think about the matter more precisely and more detailed!

A leader without a vision is just a letter without a stamp; it can never reach his destination.

Applauds of the ignorant majority are worthless; applauds of the wise minority are priceless! Look carefully, who are applauding you? Look carefully, who are blessing you? Mud in the ground or stars in the sky?

Make walks in the nights to benefit from the education of silence!

Optimists are childish; they even believe they can find an ice cream store in the hell!

Why pay money for the horror movies? Just go to a street without trees!

Some people are so weak that whenever they see a hammer, they immediately turn into a nail!

In autumn, don’t go to jewellers to see gold; go to the parks!

Not every ant which stays under the elephant’s foot dies; the most powerful cannot always kill the weakest!

For a great master, everyone is a master, because he learns from everyone! For a great master, everything is a master, because he learns from everything!

Under a cherry tree, all burdens of life fly away!

God may be the captain pilot of the universe, but it appears that the Devil is his co-pilot!

Man is a tireless traveller wandering in the dark valleys of his past!

I have left orders to be awakened at any time during national emergency, even if I’m in a cabinet meeting.

From childhood’s hour I have not been. As others were, I have not seen. As others saw, I could not awaken. My heart to joy at the same tone. And all I loved, I loved alone.

Each morning when I awake, I experience again a supreme pleasure – that of being Salvador Dali.

The ability to read awoke inside of me some long dormant craving to be mentally alive.

Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.

Love is heavy and light, bright and dark, hot and cold, sick and healthy, asleep and awake- its everything except what it is!

I am trying to awake the energy contained in the air. These are the main sources of energy. What is considered as empty space is just a manifestation of matter that is not awakened.

Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.
