"Do not answer the person whose questions..." - Quote by Confucius

“Signs and symbols rule the world, not words nor laws.”

“Being strong does not mean that you never fall down, but that whenever you fall, you get up again.”

“The faults of a superior person are like the sun and moon. They have their faults, and everyone sees them; they change and everyone looks up to them.”

“There are three sorts of pleasures which are advantageous, and three which are injurious. Finding pleasure in the discriminating study of ceremonies and music, finding pleasure in discussing the good points in the conduct of others, and finding pleasure in having many wise friends, these are advantageous. But finding pleasure in profligate enjoyments, finding pleasure in idle gadding about, and finding pleasure in feasting, these are injurious.”

“Not to converse with a man worthy of conversation is to waste the man. To converse with a man not worthy of conversation is to waste words. The wise waste neither men nor words.”

“Not to waste time on nonsense. Not to be taken in by conjurors and hoodoo artists with their talk about incantations and exorcism and all the rest of it. Not to be obsessed with quail-fighting or other crazes like that.”

“Never use two words when one will do.”

“Speeches are like babies-easy to conceive but hard to deliver.”

“In love’s country, language doesn’t have its place. Love is mute.”
