Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.

This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor...Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honorably. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

Suffering is a gift. In it is hidden mercy.

Moonlight floods the whole sky from horizon to horizon;
How much it can fill your room depends on its windows.

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

Two there are, who are never satisfied; The lover of the world and the lover of Knowledge.
