"Slater soaks into the mind as water..." - Quote by Confucius

“Things have their roots and branches. Affairs have their beginnings and their ends. To know what is first and what is last will lead one near the Way.”

“To know what you know and what you do not know, that is true knowledge.”

“He who crosses the ocean twice without washing is a dirty double crosser.”

“The brain is the first broadcasting station ever invented.”

“To observe morality is to attain mastery over our mind and our passions.”

“Thought is the property of him who can entertain it, and of him who can adequately place it.”

“May I examine my mind in all actions and as soon as a negative state occurs, since it endangers myself and others, may I firmly face and avert it.”

“Do not waste your time with people who have shown you they really mean no good for you.”

“If you spend five minutes complaining, you have just wasted five minutes. If you continue complaining, it won't be long before they haul you out to a financial desert and there let you choke on the dust of your own regret.”
