"It is better to light one small..." - Quote by Confucius

“The demands that a great man makes are on himself; those of a petty man are upon others.”

“To be wealthy and honored in an unjust society is a disgrace.”

“The superior man thinks always of virtue; the common man thinks of comfort.”

“Gratitude and treachery are merely the two extremities of the same procession. You have seen all of it that is worth staying for when the band and the gaudy officials have gone by.”

“Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.”

“I'm grateful for always this moment, the now, no matter what form it takes.”

“One is never as happy or as unhappy as one thinks.”

“All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds.”

“I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.”
