Deep within this valley
The light of spring
Comes late, so
‘Tis buried ‘neath the snow:
The bush-warbler’s song.

Sugawara no Michizane
In a roadside field stands
A leafless willow tree-
Spring will come, and then
The wonders of long ago,
Will all return.

To wisely live your life, you don't need to know much
Just rememeber two main rules for the beginning:
You better starve, than eat whatever
And better be alone, than with whoever.

Omar Khayyam
To be happy is always difficult to achieve. That is to say, happiness and sorrow alternate in one’s life and there cannot be uninterrupted happiness alone

How can the past and future be, when the past no longer is, and the future is not yet? As for the present, if it were always present and never moved on to become the past, it would not be time, but eternity.

Augustine of Hippo
People travel to wonder
at the height of the mountains,
at the huge waves of the seas,
at the long course of the rivers,
at the vast compass of the ocean,
at the circular motion of the stars,
and yet they pass by themselves
without wondering.

Augustine of Hippo
Don't judge the future of a person based on his present conditions, becausetime has the power to change black coal to shiny diamond.

What comes, will go. What is found, will be lost again. But what you are is beyond coming and going and beyond description.
