“Speak the truth, or it will reveal itself.”

“In the end, writing is finding back what has been lost, bringing back what has already gone, digging up what was previously buried, and reviving what was originally dead.”

“How naive man is when he thinks he can measure the depth of the sea, the flow of a river, the speed of the wind, the distance between stars and galaxies. Is he still able to weigh his own foolishness and arrogance? That he can uncover the secrets behind all truths?”

“In my opinion, no one can enter heaven of their own accord”

“How can you win a battle, if you don't arm yourself? Only a fool enters into a battle he cannot win.”

“Those who do not have enough patience will not reap the fruits of wisdom. This is because the tree of virtue takes time to bear fruit.”

“Patience is a weapon. And in the hands of the right person, this weapon is not only deadly, but can also determine victory.”

“I fully believe in karma. Whoever thinks badly and has a bad view of others will eventually find that badness in themselves.”

“If you love someone, then set them free. Don't shackle your loved one to your will. If you want to see them happy, let them do what they want. Because we cannot bind the hearts and minds of others. Like birds, only freedom and independence will make humans happy.”

“We know that kindness is always pleasant and reassuring. But strangely not everyone thinks and acts this way.”

“It's a good idea to carry a small mirror in your pocket, which will give you a reflection of yourself before you judge others.”

“And we also know that life itself is a seemingly endless battle. A battle between what is good and bad in us. What we can only possibly win by the only way, which is to conquer and defeat ourselves.”

“In every battle, we don't always win. Perhaps we are defeated more often than not. We are made to hurt and suffer. We are made to cry and mourn each defeat, but we must not stop there. Because tomorrow there will be another battle. As long as we still have hope we must believe that one day we will win the battle. What can defeat us is the weakness of our own soul. We are not winners if we are unable to overcome our own fears and worries.”

“Can you see other people's battles as your own? There are so many similarities in every war in this world. Some are fighting for freedom and independence. Some fight for principles and ideals. But there are also those who fight only for their blind faith and ego.”

“Tell me, do you think there is a crumb of ignorance in a loaf of wisdom bread?”

“Life stretches between birth and death. Distance, just a breath”

“What are you worried about, buddy? Isn't death just a door to immortality?”
