“Gambling is only the resource of those who do not know what to do with themselves”

“Those who understand others are intelligent Those who understand themselves are enlightened Those who overcome others have strength Those who overcome themselves are powerful Those who know contentment are wealthy Those who proceed vigorously have willpower Those who do not lose their base endure Those who die but do not perish have longevity”

“Blessed are those who do whatever they can wherever they are, for no one is devoid of resources or opportunities.”

“On the road to truth, only those who do not know what tiredness and fear means reach the truth!”

“Even those who have an air of being wise judge of others only, and do not know themselves. It cannot be in reason to know others and not to know oneself. Therefore one who knows himself may be said to be a man who has knowledge. Though our looks be unpleasing, we do not know it. We do not know that our skill is poor. We do not know that our station is lowly. We do not know that we grow old in years. We do not know that sickness attacks us. We do not know that death is near. We do not know that we have not attained the Way we follow. We do not know what evil is in our own persons, still less what calumny comes from without.”

“The only difference between those who are doing it and those who aren't doing it is that those who are doing it... are doing it!”
