“Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.”

•"If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done."
•"Empty your mind, be formless... shapeless like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot; it becomes the teapot. Water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend..."
•Truth has no path. Truth is living and, therefore, changing. Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety; in that state of mind, there is perception. To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. Awareness has no frontier; it is giving of your whole being, without exclusion.
•Like everyone else you want to learn the way to win, but never to accept the way to lose - to accept defeat. To learn to die is to be liberated from it. So when tomorrow comes you must free your ambitious mind and learn the art of dying!
•A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.
•A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough.
•A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.

The latest quotation that I found funny and true is "Life is like a roll of toilet paper - the closer it gets to the end the faster it goes". But the one I like the best was told to me by one of my teachers (I don't know if it belongs to him) and it goes like this: "It's better to keep silent and let the rest think that you are stupid, rather than open your mouth and leave no doubt about it".
