I believe that education should be about healing the earth and dealing with the crises that we are in.

Paper knowledge, paper evaluations, paper degrees all too papery and all too theoretical; it has very little that prepares us for real life in the real world.

We should choose simple ways of living... to live in harmony with nature by adopting simpler technologies and using natural resources innovatively.

The wealth of the unlearned is more harmful than the poverty of the learned.

Humility in speech cannot be attained by men who never listen to the discourse of the wise.

Even the unlearned man should listen to the learned. It will serve as a support in times of need.

The advice of the righteous is like a stick that helps one on a marshy ground.

To speack clearly to impress all and draw subtle truths from others' utterances is wisdom.

To perceive the truth is wisdom, whatever be the matter and whosoever utters it.

Men who fear blame will consider even their small fault as a great blunder.
