Time changes the nature of the whole world; Everything passes from one state to another And nothing stays like itself.

Constant dripping hollows out a stone.

All religions are equally sublime to the ignorant, useful to the politician, and ridiculous to the philosopher.

Nothing can be created out of nothing.

The water hollows out the stone, not by force but drop by drop.

No matter how difficult a task may look.. Persistence and steady action will get you through
