Change is never easy.
He who hurries cannot walk with dignity.
Everyone thinks his own burden heavy.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
He who would rule must hear and be deaf, see and be blind.
The anvil fears no blows.
He that does not ask will never get a bargain.
A people without history is like wind on the buffalo grass.
Though a tree grows so high, the falling leaves return to the root.
Don't be too sweet lest you be eaten up; don't be too bitter lest you be spewed out.
We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.
He who knows little quickly tells it.
There is no wise response to a foolish remark.
The wise man has long ears and a short tongue.
Danger and delight grow on one stalk.
Words must be weighed, not counted.
The go-between wears out a thousand sandals.
Gossip needs no carriage.
We know the worth of a thing when we have lost it.
Wait until it is night before saying that it has been a fine day.
Every path has its puddle.
Give me a firm spot on which to stand and I shall move the earth!
To conqueror others is to have power. To conqueror yourself is to know the way.
As falls the dew on quenchless sands, blood only serves to wash ambition's hands.
