Quotes
Some quotes fall in more than one category. To save repetition, I picked one category for the quote.
This particular page is for random quotes that don't fit the other categories—until I create more categories. :-)
A Chinese Proverb
He who knows and knows not that he knows.
He is asleep; wake him. He who knows not and knows not that he knows not. He deceives himself; wait for him. He who knows not and knows that he knows not. He is a child; teach him. He who knows and knows that he knows. He is a king; follow him. "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience." Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
