| A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials. Don't curse the darkness--light a candle. He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever. I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow. Life's journey is the reward. Man who waits for roast duck to fly into mouth must wait very, very long time. Patience is power. With time and patience, the mulberry leaf becomes silk. Talk doesn't cook rice. Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself. Tell me and I'll forget, show me and I may remember, involve me and I'll understand. The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones. The man who strikes first admits that his ideas have given out. When the sun rises, I go to work, When the sun goes down, I take my rest I dig the well from which I drink I farm the soil that yields my food I share creation. Kings can do no more. |
