One who sharpens his sword before sharpening his mind has already been conquered by ignorance.

Ants eat seeds, spiders eats ants, birds eat spiders, foxes eat birds, wolves eat foxes, bears eat wolves. The Sun alone will never be prey; it preys on all.

A dog barks, but a lion strikes.

A mirror never reserves its judgment.

Beatings from truth are better than kisses from lies.

Train the ears to hear more, the eyes to see more, the hands to do more, the feet to accomplish more, the mind to think more, the heart to feel more, and the soul to love more.
