Standards are different for all things, so the standard set by man is by
no means the only 'certain' standard.  If you mistake what is relative for
something certain, you have strayed far from the ultimate truth.
                -- Chuang Tzu

Suffering alone exists, none who suffer;
The deed there is, but no doer thereof;
Nirvana is, but no one is seeking it;
The Path there is, but none who travel it.
                -- "Buddhist Symbolism", Symbols and Values

Superstition, idolatry, and hypocrisy have ample wages, but truth goes
a-begging.
                -- Martin Luther

Take your dying with some seriousness, however.  Laughing on the way to
your execution is not generally understood by less advanced life forms,
and they'll call you crazy.

That that is is that that is not is not.

That, that is, is.
That, that is not, is not.
That, that is, is not that, that is not.
That, that is not, is not that, that is.

The absurd is the essential concept and the first truth.
                -- A. Camus

The best you get is an even break.
                -- Franklin Adams

"The chain which can be yanked is not the eternal chain."
                -- G. Fitch
