It is only the very wisest and the very stupidest who never change.

A picture is poem without words.

A lion chased me up a tree, and I greatly enjoyed the view from the top.

I will not be concerned at other men's not knowing me;I will be concerned at my own want of ability.

The wise man delights in water, the Good man delights in mountains. For the wise move; but the Good stay still. The wise are happy; but the good secure.

Virtue is more to man than either water or fire. I have seen men die from treading on water and fire, but I have never seen a man die from treading the course of virtue.

A blemish may be removed from a diamond by careful polishing, but evil words once spoken cannot be effaced.
