Everybody is imperfect. The difference is only of degree.

A person should be intelligent enough to form his principles and wise enough to know they can be broken at times.

Every thinker is not necessarily wise; but every wise man is essentially a thinker.

Not all thinkers meet with wisdom; that doesn't mean thinking is useless. Wisdom is essentially a product of critical thinking.

Only two types of people can live a healthy life. Those who are perfectly ignorant, and those who are perfectly aware. Both are rare.

To live life and not understand it is more healthy than to understand life and not live it, but less healthy than to understand and live life.

Happiness is important to MAKE life worth living. And contentment is important to KEEP life worth living. Former is the function of emotions, while the latter is the function of intelligence. Both emotions and intelligence are equally important for a good life.

Human consciousness is a curse because it is being driven by two unavoidable forces, biological impulses and reason, which are eternally in conflict with each other.
