Death and life have their determined appointments; riches and honors depend upon heaven.

What is called genius is the abundance of life and health.

Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them... Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will.
