A wise man who doesn't know he is wise is asleep, wake him
A fool is one who believes themselves to be wise when they are not.
One should value emptiness as well as wholeness. What is a window, but the emptiness in the whole of a wall.
A great thing can only exist when several insignificant things sacrifice their individuality.

to clarify on my last statement since it seems to bother some of you....
Soldiers make an army by sacrificing their indviduality.
Followers make a religion, without followers the religion wouldn't exist.
A speck of sand is the foundation for the mightiest mountain.
Do you not see this logic more clearly now?

No, I do not agree. A wise man knows how little he knows: he knows that there is a vast body of knowledge out there compared to what is in his head.
I agree that a person who believes he is wise when he is not is a fool. There are millions, if not billions, of them in the world.
Emptiness and fullness (or wholeness) each have their appropriate place. A hole in the wall is just a hole, and it gets cold at night. A window is filled with glass, and allows light but not wind to come through.
Some great things are whole in themselves, and do not require the sacrifice of anyone's individuality. Not all great things grow like coral reefs, after all.

1. NO. wise people who don't think that they are wise even wiser than ones who think they are. Let them sleep.
2. not always, but possible.
3. yes. value all things, even heartbreak and pain. They make you sronger, but don't let you swell with power.
4.nope. definitly not.
