"Toki Pona helps you to realize that
thoughts are not made of words,
like being a fish and discovering that
the universe is not made of water"

... a comment by "jan Telakoman", from the discussion thread "Benefits of Toki Pona" (April 2024) ... and as translated into Toki Pona by "Markster94":

jan la, sona li nimi ala.
kala la, ale li telo ala.

alternatively:

jan la, sona li nimi ala.
kala la, ale li telo ala.

or in English:

To a person, knowledge is not words.
To a fish, everything is not water.
