1. It means that we are not capable of doing great things, but we are capable of doing small things with great love. For example you can't cook a meal for everyone in the world, but you can cook a meal for your family with lots of love.

2.Art is the expression of a person's feelings. Some people create art that is dark and showcases suffering. Although some people may find it objectionable and wicked, they have to remember that those feelings are inside of all of us.

3.A person's first answer to anything is always a morally correct answer. And wisdom is obtained by doing what is right. So if you follow you're instincts you are doing right things and that way you become wise.

4.When our brain tell our body to do something, we do it. Our actions help people judge how we think. The soul  is the brain for our face. If our soul is generous, then when a person looks at at our face, they will think we are generous.

5.When some one fails they shouldn't give up because people weren't born to fail, they were born to succeed.

6.Education is the best way to prepare for old age.

7. Everything in the world is beautiful, but you don't notice that because it's busy and you only notice the beauty is useless things because they have nothing else to do. For example there can this beautiful business woman, but you don't notice her beauty because she is busy doing her job. Then you go to the beach and you see this girl lying down in her bikini and you notice her because she's doing nothing or beign useless.

8.This means that adults think that kids are happy because adults have lost the happiness in their lives. And kids on the other hand think being an adult is happy because they have lost their happiness too. People loose their happiness worrying about small things and think that other people have it.

9.Souls are recycled. So when a person dies which is destructive, another person has to be born so the soul has a place to go to. Then a person is born which is an act of creation. Just like everything else int he world like building a new skyscraper int the place of an old one.

10. This means that when people have all there WANTS met they have time for philosophical though rather then thinking of what they want. So this means that when you can think past your wants you become wise.
