"In abundance prepare for scarcity...." - Quote by Mencius

“The people are the most important element in a nation; the spirits of the land and grain are the next; the sovereign is the least.”

“He who loves others is constantly loved by them. He who respects others is constantly respected by them.”

“The sole concern of learning is to seek one's original heart.”

“When you plan and prepare carefully, you can legitimately expect to have success in your efforts. An optimistic, positive mind is far more likely to come up with creative solutions than a mind that dwells on setbacks and difficulties. Bottom line: expect success and you can achieve it!”

“Plans are of little importance, but planning is essential.”

“I'm going to make a long speech because I've not had the time to prepare a short one.”

“The tongue must be heavy indeed, because so few people can hold it”

“In childhood be modest, in youth temperate, in adulthood just, and in old age prudent.”

“Let thy discontents be thy secrets”
