― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.”
― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“Countless words
count less
than the silent balance
between yin and yang”
― Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
