Siddhartha

Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish.

Wisdom cannot be imparted. Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else.

The river is everywhere.

Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.

Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.

I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.
