I really liked these phrases, i also love the Chinese proverbs.
A little impatience will spoil great plans. Even a hare will bite when it is cornered. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If you bow at all, bow low. A smile will gain you ten more years of life. A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song. Behave toward everyone as if receiving a guest. A fall into a ditch makes you wiser. Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without one. He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever. Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness. Experience is a comb which nature gives us when we are bald. To know the road ahead, ask those coming back. Distant water won't help to put out a fire close at hand. Small men think they are small; great men never know they are great. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking. Teachers open the door. You enter by yourself. I was angered, for I had no shoes. Then I met a man who had no feet. Men trip not on mountains they trip on molehills. Do not want others to know what you have done? Better not have done it anyways. A man without a smiling face must not open shop. It is not the knowing that is difficult, but the doing. |
