If you don’t want to do something, don’t impose on others
Chinese teacher, editor, politician, and philosopher of the Spring and Autumn period of Chinese history.
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall
It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop
Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men
Death and life have their determined appointments; riches and honors depend upon heaven
The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the world at large
He who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger
Brevity is the soul of wit
The tongue like a sharp knife… Kills without drawing blood
Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice
I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people
The rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened
There is no time for ease and comfort. It is time to dare and endure
