"Only after Winter comes do we know..." - Quote by Confucius

“Many seek happiness higher than men; others beneath him. But happiness is the same height as man.”

“Know what you know and know that you don't know what you don't know — that is the characteristic of one who knows.”

“A true gentleman makes demands upon himself but not upon others.”

“Try things. Laugh a lot. Mess up. Apologize. Hug people. Take chances. Trust yourself. Lose things. Get over it.”

“Every day offers you 10,000 reasons to cry, but if you can find just one reason to laugh then you will be all right.”

“Nearly every man who develops an idea works it up to the point where it looks impossible, and then he gets discouraged. That's not the place to become discouraged.”

“To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice and, while it is true that the suicide braves death, he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill.”

“If a man wishes to become a hero, then the serpent must first become a dragon: otherwise he lacks his proper enemy.”

“Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, for wise men say it is the wisest course.”
