You have crossed the great ocean; why do you halt so near the shore? Make haste to get on the other side, Gautama; be careful all the while!
What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.
Learning is retained through putting into practice; family prestige is maintained through good behavior; a respectable person is recognised by his excellent qualities; and anger is seen in the eyes.
Life is like a 1,000 page book. You want to quit halfway through, but then you realise you have a lot left to look forward to.
Do not race after riches, do not risk your life for success, or you will let slip the heaven within you.
Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.
