"Do not worry if others do not..." - Quote by Confucius

“If I am building a mountain and stop before the last basketful of earth is placed on the summit, I have failed.”

“Reading without thinking will confuse you.Thinking without reading will place you in danger.”

“Even four harnessed horses cannot bring imprudent words back into the mouth.”

“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.”

“Yet a man may love a paradox, without losing either his wit or his honesty.”

“The critic, to interpret his artist, even to understand his artist, must be able to get into the mind of his artist; he must feel and comprehend the vast pressure of the creative passion.”

“Only one human being recognized as one's neighbour is necessary in order to cure a man of self-love”

“The media covers what’s new – and millions of people dying is nothing new. So it stays in the background, where it’s easier to ignore. But even when we do see it or read about it, it’s difficult to keep our eyes on the problem. It’s hard to look at suffering if the situation is so complex that we don’t know how to help. And so we look away.”

“At every crisis in one's life, it is absolute salvation to have some sympathetic friend to whom you can think aloud without restraint or misgiving.”
