Adages of Wisdom Quotes by Master Sheng Yen  

Posted by Pierre Will in ,

The deeper our compassion, the greater our wisdom and the fewer our vexations.

***

***

***

A big duck cuts a big wake; a small duck cuts a small wake. Big or small, each duck will paddle its own way to the other shore—but only if it paddles.

***

***

Diligence doesn't mean stretching beyond our limits. It means displaying unremitting persistence.

***
