Seek Not Every Quality In One Individual.
If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.
A fool marvels at rare things, but a wise man at common ones.
The wise are free from perplexities; the virtuous from anxiety; and the bold from fear.
The demands that good people make are upon themselves; Those that bad people make are upon others.
The gem cannot be polished without friction nor man without trials.
