I am a big fan of Zen sayings and haiku. e.g

"In the Kamigata area, they have a sort of tiered lunchbox they use for a single day when flower viewing. Upon returning, they throw them away, trampling them underfoot. The end is important in all things"

I can recommend this book "Hakakure the book of the Samurai" it can be hard going in parts but is a great read. Haiku (is a mode of Japanese poetry Haiku usually combines three different phrases, with a distinct grammatical break, called kireji, usually placed at the end of either the first five or second seven morae. In Japanese, there are actual kireji words. In English, kireji is often replaced with commas, hyphens, elipses, or implied breaks in the haiku. These elements of the older haiku are considered by many to be essential to haiku as well, although they are not always included by modern writers of Japanese "free-form haiku" and of non-Japanese haiku. Japanese haiku are typically written as a single line, while English language haiku are traditionally separated into three lines. My favourite is by Miyamoto Musashi " Cold flow, Still Moon, like clear water. Good eh?
