- The saving person becomes a free person.
- Take a second look, it costs you nothing.
- Flowing water is never stale.
- Enjoy yourself. It’s later then you think.
- Don’t open a shop unless you like to smile.
- Plan your year in the early spring, your day at dawn.
- The wise adapt themselves to circumstances, as water moulds itself to the pitcher.
- A clumsy bird that flies early will get to the forest first.
- Listen to all, but follow no one absolutely.
- To know the road ahead, ask those coming back.
- The fire you kindle for your enemy often burns yourself more than him.
- Govern a family as you would cook a small fish – very gently.
- Genius can be recognised by its childish simplicity.
- Make happy those who are near and those who are far will come.
- Dipping water can eat through a stone.
- Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without one.
- A bit of fragrance clings to hand that gives flowers.
- Learning is like rowing upstream, to not advance is to go backwards.
- Deal with the faults of others as gently as your own.
- Do not confine your children to your own learning, for they were born in a different time.
- Don't be afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still.
- An ant may destroy a whole dam.
- Better the cottage where one is merry than the palace where one weeps
- A book holds a house of gold.
