You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.

The water in a vessel is sparkling; the water in the sea is dark. The small truth has words which are clear; the great truth has great silence.

The fish in the water is silent, the animals on the earth is noisy, the bird in the air is singing. But man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth and the music of the air.

Languages are jealous sovereigns, and passports are rarely allowed for travelers to cross their strictly guarded borders

The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence.

You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water. Don't let yourself indulge in vain wishes.
