"Woman is the masterpiece...." - Quote by Confucius

“To love a thing means wanting it to live.”

“Expect much from yourself and little from others and you will avoid incurring resentments”

“The superior man undergoes three changes. Looked at from a distance, he appears stern; when approached, he is mild; when he is heard to speak, his language is firm and decided.”

“Women are hard and proud and stubborn-hearted,Their heads being turned with praise and flattery;And that is why their lovers are afraidTo tell them a plain story.”

“Woman learns how to hate in proportion as she forgets how to charm.”

“But don't try to find an untroublesome woman. She will dull out on you. What makes a woman good in bed makes it impossible for her to live alone.”

“There was a beauty here bigger than the hurtling beauty of basketball, a beauty refined from country pastures, a game of solitariness, of waiting, waiting for the pitcher to complete his gaze toward first base and throw his lightning, a game whose very taste, of spit and dust and grass and sweat and leather and sun, was America.”

“The fairest order in the world is a heap of random sweepings.”

“And, indeed, what little of beauty and peace is to be found in the societies of men is owing to the daily performance of small duties, not to big doings and fine talk.”
