"A bit of fragrance always clings to..." - Quote by Confucius

“The wise find pleasure in water; the virtuous find pleasure in hills. The wise are active; the virtuous are tranquil. The wise are joyful; the virtuous are long-lived.”

“When you are laboring for others, let it be with the same zeal as if it were for yourself.”

“To know that one knows what one knows, and to know that one doesn't know what one doesn't know, there lies true wisdom.”

“There are very sophisticated, very time-consuming dishes to prepare; always from scratch, and always in excess of what you could possibly need. You tend to kill your guests with kindness around here.”

“We must also know that even before liberation in 1994 there [in South Africa] were people with resources who tried to share with those who were deprived.”

“He is a good man who can receive a gift well.”

“We may not be able to stop evil in the world, but how we treat one another is entirely up to us.”

“Hello, sun in my face. Hello you who made the morning and spread it over the fields...Watch, now, how I start the day in happiness, in kindness.”

“The simplest way to be happy is to do good.”
