Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart.
Reviewing the old and deducing the new makes a teacher.
The gentleman understands righteousness, the petty man understands interest.
Aspire to the principle, behave with virtue, abide by benevolence, and immerse yourself in the arts.
Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still.
Behind an able man there are always other able men.
Enough shovels of earth -- a mountain. Enough pails of water -- a river.
A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.
A good fortune may forbode a bad luck, which may in turn disguise a good fortune.
Govern a family as you would cook a small fish -- very gently.
Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.
Happiness is like a sunbeam, which the least shadow intercepts, while adversity is often as the rain of spring.
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.
He who hurries can not walk with dignity.
He who sacrifices his conscience to ambition burns a picture to obtain the ashes.
A horse cannot gain weight if not fed with extra fodder during the night; a man cannot become wealthy without earnings apart from his regular salaries.
How can you expect to find ivory in a dog's mouth?
If a son is uneducated, his Father is to blame.
If you are patient in a moment of anger, you will escape a hindred days of sorrow.
