"Watch their actions, observe their motives, examine..." - Quote by Confucius

“Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it. To see it a person only needs to imagine how it could be worse.”

“Learning, undigested by thought, is labor lost.”

“Benevolence is the characteristic element of humanity.”

“When I'm getting to know someone, I look for someone who has passions that I respect, like his career. Someone who loves what he does is really attractive. In high school, I used to think it was "like sooooo cool" if a guy had an awesome car. Now none of that matters. These days I look for character and honesty and trust.”

“The way a man looks at himself in a mirror will tell you if he can ever care about anyone else.”

“I can't imagine how anyone can say: "I'm weak," and then remain so. After all, if you know it, why not fight against it, why not try to train your character? The answer was: "Because it's so much easier not to!”

“I like these people swarming on the sidewalks, wedged into a little space of houses and canals, hemmed in by fogs, cold lands, and the sea streaming like a wet wash. I like them, for they are double. They are here and elsewhere.”

“You can't generalise about an entire country, but I like the energy of British men.”

“The sun got confused about daylight savings time. It rose twice. Everything had two shadows.”
