A sage benefits from his mistakes more than a fool benefits from his triumphs.
Your mind shines brightest when you enlighten others; your heart, when you encourage others; your soul, when you elevate others; and your life, when you empower others.
You are no greater than the friends you keep, the books you read, the heroes you admire, and the obstacles you overcome.
Helping yourself is common sense, helping others is virtue, helping yourself and others is enlightenment.

Prove to the world that you are alive, let your words breathe life into the nostrils of the universe.
In my youth I had three teachers: friends, enemies, and books. In my adulthood I had three professors: God, nature, and life.
