Following are a few words of eternal truth spoken by revered people of all generations. The purpose of these words are simply to gift man with the gift of profound knowledge, and to make life so much more simpler, peaceful, and full.

"Cato used to assert that wise men profited more by fools than fools by wise men; for that wise men avoided the faults of fools, but that fools would not imitate the good examples of wise men." Plutarch, Life of Marcus Cato

"Half of being smart is knowing what you’re dumb at." David Gerrold

"Who is wise? He who learns from all men" – Talmud

''O Krishna, the stillness of divine union which you describe is beyond my comprehension. How can the mind, which is so restless, attain lasting peace? Krishna, the mind is restless, turbulent, powerful, violent; trying to control it is like trying to tame the wind.’ – Arjuna (Bhagavad Gita)

"Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude." – I Corinthians. True love is not to remember one bad thing forgetting ninety-nine good things done by the person.

"I have always been among those who believe that the greatest freedom of speech was the greatest safety, because if a man is a fool, the best thing to do is to encourage him to advertise the fact by speaking." Woodrow Wilson

"He who knows nothing, loves nothing. He who can do nothing understands nothing. He who understands nothing is worthless. But he who understands also loves, notices, sees....The more knowledge is inherent in a thing, the greater the love." Paracelsus

"Imagination is more powerful even than knowledge." Albert Einstein

"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." Bertrand Russell

"Wherever you go, you will always bear yourself about with you, and so you will always find yourself." – Thomas Kempis

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction." Albert Einstein

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." Albert Einstein
