"Men do not stumble over mountains, but..." - Quote by Confucius

“Isn't it a pleasure to study and practice what you have learned? Isn't it also great when friends visit from distant places? If one remains not annoyed when he is not understood by people around him, isn't he a sage?”

“To study and at times practice what one has learned, is this not a pleasure?”

“Love others as you would love yourself, judge others as you would judge yourself, cherish others as you would cherish yourself. When you wish for others as you wish for yourself and when you protect others as you would protect yourself, that's when you can say it's true love.”

“Courage is an inner resolution to go forward despite obstacles;Cowardice is submissive surrender to circumstances.”

“The enemies inside us: Indifference, Indecision, Doubt, Worry, and Over-caution.”

“Every wall is a door.”

“Every day is a day to be thankful. Life's abundance has no limit, and gratitude is what keeps that abundance flowing. In every circumstance there is something for which to be thankful. Even when there seems to be nothing else, there is hope.”

“Sire, you are looking at a plain man, and I am looking at a great man. Each of us may benefit.”

“It's better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a pessimist who is always right”
