The loudest preacher in the world is your conscience, the cleverest is wisdom, the rowdiest is passion, the surest is truth, the purest is love, and the highest is God.

It is the worst people in your life that teach you the best lessons.

Be humble as you learn, confident as you teach, and modest when you have mastered both.

Practicing what you preach is the world’s most eloquent sermon.

Teach the ignorant. Study the wise. Avoid the foolish. Embrace the enlightened.

Your mind shines brightest when you enlighten others; your heart, when you encourage others; your soul, when you elevate others; and your life, when you empower others.

An ounce of wisdom is worth more than a pound of knowledge.

A shrewd enemy will teach you more than a foolish friend.

Learn more than others. Work more than others. Succeed more than others. Give more than others.

The past is your teacher. The present is your opportunity. The future is your reward.

Three kinds of people achieve illumination: those who learn, those who teach, and those who do both continuously.

Teach yourself. Help yourself. Improve yourself. Enrich yourself.

If there is wisdom in your mind, prove it; joy in your heart, share it; love in your soul, show it; good in your life, impart it.

The sweeter the fruit a tree bears the greater the number of birds that eat from it.

The most difficult door to open is the entrance to an ignorant mind.

The greater the number of fish a river bears the greater the number of fishermen that patronize it.

Don’t waste time watering a weed hoping to transform it into a flower.

The storm only comes to teach you how to skillfully sail your ship.

Learn what you can, teach what you know, live how you ought.

There is no smarter professor than life, and no wiser sage than experience.

To be knowledgeable, sit before scholars; to be wise, sit before life.

On the path to greatness, life teaches you to walk with stones in your shoes.

Intelligence is the icing, but wisdom is the cake.
