“Truth is no pupil. Awareness is no professor. Intuition is no amateur. Existence is no master. Proof is no disciple. Conviction is no graduate. Certainty is no intellectual. Reality is no philosopher. Time is no student. Life is no scholar. Fate is no saint. Eternity is no sage.”

“Life is a shrewd teacher, hardship is an unfriendly lecturer, death is a pessimistic professor, and eternity is an illuminated philosopher. Experience is an intelligent teacher, reality is an indifferent lecturer, mortality is a gloomy professor, and truth is an infallible philosopher. The past is a wise teacher, the present is an apathetic lecturer, the future is a mysterious professor, and destiny is an immutable philosopher. The mind is a clever teacher, the conscience is an annoying lecturer, the body is a sensual professor, and the soul is a mystical philosopher.”

“When you are bad at what you do, people criticize you. When you are average at what you do, people criticize you. When you are good at what you do, people still criticize you. Therefore, don’t waste your life trying to please anyone. If birds sing without worrying about who is listening to them, and monkeys dance without worrying about who is watching them, and hyenas laugh without worrying about who is mocking them, then you too must do what you do best without worrying about who is ridiculing you.”

“I am generous because I've been poor, cautious because I've been naive, strong because I've been afraid, clever because I've been foolish, mighty because I've been weak, kind because I’ve been downtrodden, cheerful because I’ve been miserable, patient because I’ve been reckless, modest because I’ve been humbled, calm because I’ve been confused, friendly because I’ve been ostracized, noble because I’ve been dishonoured, loyal because I’ve been betrayed, confident because I’ve been nervous, pleasant because I’ve been malicious, chaste because I’ve been depraved, principled because I’ve been unethical, just because I’ve been persecuted, and tolerant because I’ve been discriminated against.”

“Train your ears to hear more, your eyes to see more, your hands to do more, your feet to accomplish more, your mind to think more, your heart to feel more, and your soul to love more. The mind, though small, can perceive the impossible. The heart, though small, can endure the impossible. The soul, though small, can experience the impossible. The hands, though small, can do the impossible. The tongue, though small, can express the impossible. The eyes, though small, can discern the impossible. The ears, though small, can understand the impossible.”

“Think outside of the box. Work outside of the box. Dream outside of the box. Succeed outside of the box. The ordinary think inside of the box, the extraordinary think outside of the box, but genius thinks inside, outside, below and above the box.”

“Have the mind of a fox, the heart of a lion, the tongue of a serpent, the flair of a swan, and the soul of a dove. Have the fortitude of a camel, the courage of a bear, the strength of a bull, the fierceness of a wolf, and the might of an elephant.”
