  • There’s wisdom everywhere. So take what’s good from all religions, philosophies, and people, make them your own, and act by your moral guide.

  • Don’t solely focus on the reputation and merit of someone because it doesn’t matter where it comes from, so keep an open mind and don’t close yourself into a concrete school of thought. What’s right is right.

  • Look for wisdom and steal it from all sources. It’ll only make you and your life better.
