Always remember that if you notice a person to be highly intelligent, he or she will be usually incomparably lonely in spite of what they display. Any friendly advance made towards that person in an acceptably respectful manner will almost always be accepted. The reason is that people around such a person are either immensely jealous of them or are in awe. They never dare to approach them, and if they do, they do it in ridiculous ways.
If God exists, it is greater than humans, and hence humans will never conceive it. Just like we don’t comprehend dimensions beyond the three we live in. Similarly, in case you consider a person greater than yourself, either you are wrong in doing so, or you will never comprehend him or her.
Never trust a young man who doesn’t exercise.

Studying, reading, and/or travelling are all good things, because you learn through them. But they can also be bad things, because they give you an illusion of wisdom that seldom comes.
We all are immensely rich for the people poorer than us. Keep that in mind while complaining of your poverty. We all are very poor for the people richer than us. Keep that in mind when you fall in vanity.
As you advance in your life, you tend to realize that you are advancing towards death. And hence, if the Universe wishes you well, it makes you grow out of all your ephemeral pursuits. Towards the end if you are still interested in worldly things, either your interest is superficial or you are not destined to break away from the rueful circle of samsara in this life.
For many people others’ sharing their pictures and ideas on the Internet is not having a real life; whereas their sharing of their own pictures is a kind of philanthropy.
Don’t be sad because people use you. Be happy because you are usable. Otherwise, the majority of human beings on this planet can’t be used even as toilets. -Rishiraj
