"The wise man admires water, the kind..." - Quote by Confucius

“To take what you know for what you know, and what you do not know for what you do not know, that is knowledge indeed.”

“The superior man accords with the course of the Mean. Though he may be all unknown, unregarded by the world, he feels no regret - It is only the sage who is able for this.”

“I used to listen to what others said, and expect them to act accordingly. But nowadays, I listen to what they say, and then observe what they do.”

“When I passed forty I dropped pretense, 'cause men like women who got some sense.”

“The wise man can change his mind; the stubborn one, never.”

“It is easy to get everything you want, provided you first learn to do without the things you cannot get.”

“First, I blow a hole in your face; then I go back inside, and sleep like a baby... I guarantee you.”

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

“He doth nothing but talk of his horses.”
