"a dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. a man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker."
"a dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. a man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker."

"Few among men are they who cross to the further shore. The others merely run up and down the bank on this side."
"Even as a solid rock is unshaken by the wind, so are the wise unshaken by praise or blame."
"May all that have life be delivered from suffering"
"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful."
