Sages shine so they can see the world, not so the world can see them.

A fish is a genius in water, an eagle is a genius in air, a fox is a genius on land, and a sage is a genius in life. 

The enlightened worry less than others,
quarrel less than others,
fight less than others,
transgress less than others;
care more than others,
give more than others,
and love more than others.

A wolf only attends a rabbit’s funeral to eat its young.

A spoon does not know whether it enters a rich or poor man's mouth.

To learn how to swim, observe fish; how to hunt, observe lions; how to work, observe bees, and how to live, observe sages.
