The moment of despair is often the beginning of hope; the end of a crisis is often the arrival of an opportunity; and where all seems lost, beauty and new paths await.
Intelligence is important, but so is knowledge; character is more vital than intelligence, and spiritual awareness is more essential than character. Direction matters more than method, motivation matters more than ability, and being a good person is more important than merely doing things well.
A lack of wisdom leads to excessive worry; a lack of authority leads to anger; and a lack of integrity leads to excessive talk. The most important task in life is to understand oneself.
For those who live with a purpose, life is profoundly beautiful.
Life is like a journey of scenery; only by moving through wind, frost, rain, and snow can one witness the most magnificent views.
No one's life is always smooth sailing, and no one can guarantee eternal peace and security.
Remember, when faced with money and interests, the line between a gentleman and a petty person can become blurred. When significant interests are involved, remain vigilant and cautious. While your closest kin may not harm you, others are unpredictable.
The more you resist someone, the more you resemble them.
