- Never find your delight in another's misfortune.
- It is better to have a little than nothing.
- You cannot put the same shoe on every foot.
- A guilty conscience never feels secure.
- Every day should be passed as if it were to be our last.
- No one knows what he can do till he tries.
- Good health and good sense are two of life's greatest blessings.

- It is better to learn late than never.
TAO TE CHING THIRTY-THREE
Knowing others is wisdom;
Knowing the self is enlightenment.
Mastering others requires force;
Mastering the self needs strength.
He who knows he has enough is rich.
Perseverance is a sign of will power.
He who stays where he is endures.
To die but not to perish is to be eternally present.
