"He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know"
"He who knows himself is enlightened"
"From caring comes courage"
"For the wise man looks into space and he knows there is no limited dimensions"
"Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt"
"Governing a great nation is like cooking a small fish - too much handling will spoil it"
"Govern a great nation as you would cook a small fish. Do not overdo it"
