Fortune Cookie Wisdom:
A book holds a house of gold.
A book tightly shut is but a block of paper.
If what we see is doubtful, how can we believe what is spoken behind the back.
A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.
A fool judges people by the presents they give him.
A rat who gnaws at a cat's tail invites destruction.
Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still.
Do good, reap good; do evil, reap evil.
Do not remove a fly from your friend's forehead with a hatchet.
He who strikes the first blow admits he's lost the argument.
If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.
If you always give, you will always have.
A diamond with a flaw is worth more than a pebble without imperfections.
A gem is not polished without rubbing, nor a man perfected without trials.
Raise your sail one foot and you get ten feet of wind.
Behave toward everyone as if receiving a guest.
An inch of time is an inch of gold but you can't buy that inch of time with an inch of gold.
A fall into a ditch makes you wiser.
To know the road ahead, ask those coming back.
Teachers open the door. You enter by yourself.
Be the first to the field and the last to the couch.
Dig the well before you are thirsty.
If you bow at all, bow low.
If you don't want anyone to know, don't do it.
Married couples who love each other tell each other a thousand things without talking.
A flower cannot blossom without sunshine nor a garden without love.
Better a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
Love is blind, and greed insatiable.
So lovers, to their fair one fondly blind, E'en on her ugliness with transport gaze.
The remedy for love is--land between.
Confucius
I hear, I know. I see, I remember. I do, I understand.
To know what is right and not to do it is the worst cowardice.
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Silence is a true friend who never betrays.
Everything has beauty but not everyone sees it.
If you look into your own heart, and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear?
The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.
In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of.
Real knowledge is to know the extent of ones ignorance.
He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good.
To see and listen to the wicked is already the beginning of wickedness.
It is better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness.
Worry not that no one knows of you; seek to be worth knowing
