"In speaking, it is best to be..." - Quote by Confucius

“Every truth has four corners: as a teacher I give you one corner, and it is for you to find the other three.”

“A fool marvels at rare things, but a wise man at common ones.”

“A youth is to be regarded with respect.”

“The actual life of a thought lasts only until it reaches the point of speech...As soon as our thinking has found words it ceases to be sincere...When it begins to exist in others it ceases to live in us, just as the child severs itself from its mother when it enters into its own existence.”

“I wasn't a great communicator, but I communicated great things.”

“Feathers shall raise men even as they do birds towards heaven :- That is by letters written with their quills.”

“The first and most important thing of all, at least for writers today, is to strip language clean, to lay it bare down to the bone.”

“Hammer your thoughts into unity.”

“A writer should give direct certainty; explanations are so much water poured into the wine.”
