#131He who knows nothing, knows nothing.
But he who knows he knows nothing knows something.
And he who knows someone whose friend's wife's brother knows nothing,
he knows something. Or something like that.
#132He who knows others is wise.
He who knows himself is enlightened.
-- Lao Tsu
#133He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.
-- Lao Tsu
#134He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know.
-- Lao Tsu
#135 ...He who laughs does not believe in what he laughs at, but neither
does he hate it. Therefore, laughing at evil means not preparing oneself to
combat it, and laughing at good means denying the power through which good is
self-propagating.
-- Umberto Eco, "The Name of the Rose"
#136Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished:
if you're alive, it isn't.
#137How can you prove whether at this moment we are sleeping, and all our
thoughts are a dream; or whether we are awake, and talking to one another
in the waking state?
-- Plato
#138I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.
-- William Allen White
#139I didn't believe in reincarnation in any of my other lives. I don't see why
I should have to believe in it in this one.
-- Strange de Jim
#140I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or
whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
-- Chuang-tzu
