Aphorisms
“Do not look outside the box, until you have first looked in
all of its corners.”

He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.”

opinions.”
“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have
not, remember that what you now have was once among
the things you only hoped for.”
“Do not tell me the things you think I want to hear. Tell
me the things that make you sincere.”
“Do not think of your faults, still less of others’ faults; look
for what is good and strong, and try to imitate it. Your
faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time
comes.”
“Do not try to live forever. You will not succeed.”
“Do not underestimate the power of human stupidity.”
“Do not use a cannon to kill a mosquito, that’s a waste of
resources.”
“Do not wait on the explanation of others to find the
answer to your problems. You have to look inside yourself
to find the answer that is right for you. Although it may
take a few tries, if you are willing and patient enough you
will find the correct one.”
