"The more man meditates upon good thoughts,..." - Quote by Confucius

“Give a bowl of rice to a man and you will feed him for a day. Teach him how to grow his own rice and you will save his life.”

“The superior man honors his virtuous nature, and maintains constant inquiry and study, seeking to carry it out to its breadth and greatness, so as to omit none of the more exquisite and minute points which it embraces, and to raise it to its greatest height and brilliancy.”

“Wisdom, humanity & courage, these three are universal virtues. The way by which they are practiced are one.”

“When enthusiasm runs in the front door, worry runs out the back door.”

“Worry is a waste of imagination.”

“Always will I dig for reasons to applaud; never will I scratch for excuses to gossip. When I am tempted to criticize I will bite on my tongue; when I am moved to praise I will shout from the roofs.”

“He thinks like a Tory, and talks like a Radical, and that's so important nowadays.”

“Literature is doomed if liberty of thought perishes.”

“Those with very loud voices in their throats are nearly incapable of thinking subtle thoughts.”
