***************
The book salesman should
be honored because he knows
the books that will sell
***************
There are three methods
to gaining wisdom . . . All of
them are perilous
***************
At the center of
your being is a diamond
with a perfect flaw
***************
Choose a job you love
and you are gently shouldered
off the stage of life
***************
If you look into
your own heart and find nothing
there, plant a love seed
***************
Never give a sword
to a virtuous man . . . Give
him a book instead
***************
God is a tiger . . .
There is nothing to be feared
more than a tiger
***************
Do not impose on
God what you yourself do not
desire to practice
***************
The wickedness of
an oppressive government
is the zeal of wealth
***************
A superior
man who can’t dance will never
achieve true knowledge
***************
The man whose teachers
are anger and hate has the
soul of a pebble
***************
