You are strong because of what you overcame, brave because of what you defeated, fierce because of what you mastered, and powerful because of what you conquered.
Be humble as you learn, confident as you teach, and modest when you have mastered both.
A step towards what you fear is a mile towards mastering it.
An ambitious amateur will rise above a complacent master.
Fall from ignorance, and you will rise to reason.
The lowest wisdom of the wise is greater than the highest wisdom of fools.
When enlightened souls come in contact with ignorant people like you, they have to speak in YOUR language, because you are not yet qualified to speak to them, you have not yet mastered the ART to commune with them. Ordinarily communication happens between two minds, communion between two beings.
You can always be better than your master but you can never change the fact that you were his student and he was your master! The seed must always respect for his soil!
Never compete with your master, because that is disrespect to him! You are your only rival, you compete with yourself, go beyond yourself!
