“Words are the voice of the heart.”
“The Master said, "To study, and then in a timely fashion to practice what you have learned - is this not satisfying? To have companions arrive from afar - is this not a joy? To remain unrecognized by others and yet remain free of resentment - is this not the mark of the gentleman?"”
“Know what you know and know that you don't know what you don't know — that is the characteristic of one who knows.”
More on Friendship
“It is expressions of affection rather than money and power that attract real friends.”
“But what is the good of friendship if one cannot say exactly what one means? Anybody can say charming things and try to please and to flatter, but a true friend always says unpleasant things, and does not mind giving pain. Indeed, if he is a really true friend he prefers it, for he knows that then he is doing good.”
“Only equals make friends, every other relationship is contrived and off balance.”
