“If you want to appreciate the Sun, be a miner; to value the land, be a sailor and to long for freedom, get married!”

“Freeze, freeze in the winter, if you really want to appreciate the summer! Walk, walk at the edge of the precipices, if you rightly want to learn the meaning of the safety! Switch the lights off, if you want to see the amazing beauty of the light!”

“Sun must set so that we can long for its rise!”

“Every time you warm yourself in front of a hot coal stove, remember the coal miners in the cold dark corridors and pray for them!”

“Working in the tea fields under a beautiful sunshine is the dream of all the miners.”

“When you are grateful to the rain, do not forget also the clouds! When appreciating something, be fair enough also to appreciate the sources that created it!”

“Whatever your objective in life may be, never use violence to get it! Violence belongs to the Land of Evil; once you enter there, your face and your heart is forever sealed with the devilish ugliness of the violence!”
