Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere

Talk doesn’t cook rice.

Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.

If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape one hundred days of sorrow.

People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.

A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.

A single conversation across the table with a wise person is worth a months study of books.

When you go to buy, don’t show your silver

The diamond cannot be polished without friction, nor the man perfected without trials.

A jade stone is useless before it is processed; a man is good-for-nothing until he is educated.
