“The fall of dropping water wears away the Stone.”

“A drop of water when you are thirsty gives such relief. The same drop in a fountain inspires you with its beauty. The same water in a dirty drain is repelling. And the same drop in the river makes you want to swim there and take a bath. And when the same water goes in the sea it thrills you with its power.”

“After all, when a stone is dropped into a pond, the water continues quivering even after the stone has sunk to the bottom.”

“Do you want to understand how to swim, or do you want to jump in and start swimming? Only people who are afraid of the water want to understand it. Other people jump in and get wet.”

“Anyone can make a mistake…. It's how they learn from it and recover from it that shows their true worth.”

I mean, how can they possibly manage to stabilize the whole social condition by not [acting with] justice and fairness.”

“Fear comes from a lack of understanding how powerful you really are.”
