The foolish man conceives the idea of 'self.' The wise man sees there is no ground on which to build the idea of 'self;' thus, he has a right conception of the world and well concludes that all compounds amassed by sorrow will be dissolved again, but the truth will remain.

To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.
