#121Happiness isn't having what you want, it's wanting what you have.
#122Happiness isn't something you experience; it's something you remember.
-- Oscar Levant
#123Having the fewest wants, I am nearest to the gods.
-- Socrates
#124He has shown you, o man, what is good. And what does the Lord ask of you,
but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly before your God?
#125He is truly wise who gains wisdom from another's mishap.
#126He knows not how to know who knows not also how to unknow.
-- Sir Richard Burton
#127He that composes himself is wiser than he that composes a book.
-- B. Franklin
#128He thought of Musashi, the Sword Saint, standing in his garden more than
three hundred years ago. "What is the 'Body of a rock'?" he was asked.
In answer, Musashi summoned a pupil of his and bid him kill himself by
slashing his abdomen with a knife. Just as the pupil was about to comply,
the Master stayed his hand, saying, "That is the 'Body of a rock'."
-- Eric Van Lustbader
#129He who despairs over an event is a coward, but he who holds hopes for
the human condition is a fool.
-- Albert Camus
#130He who knows not and knows that he knows not is ignorant. Teach him.
He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool. Shun him.
He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep. Wake him.
