The deeper the waters are, the more still they run. Anyone who goes hungry for three days will be inclined to steal. A turtle travels only when it sticks its neck out. The person who knows himself and his opponet will be invincible. Even a fish wouldn't get into trouble if it kept its mouth shut. Put off for one day and ten days will pass. Carve a peg only after you have observed the hold. Words have no wings but they can fly a thousand miles. A kitchen knife cannot carve its own handle. Even children of the same mother look different. One moment is worth more than a thousand gold pieces. Man's mind changes throughout the course of a day. To begin is to be half done. |
