Never give a sword to a man who can’t dance
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
Run away from greatness and greatness will follow you
Don't let yesterday take up too much of today
Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself
You don't learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over
The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them
