Solon*, by Plutarch

"Some wicked men are rich, some good are poor, We will not change our virtue for their store: Virtue's a thing that none can take away; But money changes owners all the day."

*  Solon (legendary, died 539 B.C.E.) Written 75 A.C.E. by Plutarch Translated by John Dryden

All beings by nature are Buddhas, as ice by nature is water. Apart from water there is no ice; apart from beings, no Buddhas.

A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.

No color to wear off.  (Hakuin Ekaku  1685-1768)

“Then, suddenly, my consciousness was lighted up from within and I saw in a vivid way how the whole universe was made up of particles of material which, no matter how dull and lifeless they might seem, were nevertheless filled with this intense and vital beauty.”
