One man has one simple rule he currently lives by:
"Don't be glutinous."

And as long as we're at it, there's another man who goes by this one.
"Never state a rule you live by if other people aren't going to understand it."
(Maybe we could promote a "grudge match" between them in Vegas or
someplace equally sticky.)

A man said to a mystic, "It must be neat, knowing more than everyone else,
in fact, I guess, knowing everything there is to know."
To which the alleged one replied, "Which is the same thing as knowing nothing,
once you realize the nature of knowledge."

A boy asked his father, "Why don't more people try to talk to mystics personally?"
"I think you know the answer to that."

Only a man with clear vision knows that whatever he preaches to you is
wasted...based upon him already realizing the same regarding himself.

There was once a man (seeking that special freedom) who decided that what
might put him over the top in his efforts would be to compose one long sentence
that contained within it every word in the dictionary. I cannot give you the
ending to this story since nothing was ever heard from this man after that.
