A little impatience will spoil great plans. 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. A book holds a house of gold. Talk does not cook rice. Experience is a comb which nature gives us when we are bald. Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still. 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. An inch of time is an inch of gold but you can't buy that inch of time with an inch of gold. A closed mind is like a closed book; just a block of wood Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness. A needle is not sharp at both ends. Even a hare will bite when it is cornered. |
