I used to listen to what others said, and expect them to act accordingly. But nowadays, I listen to what they say, and then observe what they do.

Love makes a spot beautiful: who chooses not to dwell in love, has he got wisdom?

The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name.

The superior man undergoes three changes. Looked at from a distance, he appears stern; when approached, he is mild; when he is heard to speak, his language is firm and decided.

He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good.

The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.

A wise man seeks by music to strengthen his soul: the thoughtless one uses it to stifle his fears.
