Who is not satisfied with himself will grow;
Who is not sure of his own correctness will learn many things.
Life is finite, while knowledge is infinite.
One's good deeds are only known at home; one's bad deeds far away.
Life is what we and our friendships make of it.
With true friends.. Even water drunk together is sweet enough.
When brothers and sisters argue, the bystander takes advantage.
Giving your son a skill is better than giving him one thousand pieces of gold.
Love your neighbours, but don't pull down the fence.
When you are poor, neighbours close by will not come; once you become rich, you'll be surprised by visits from relatives afar.
A friend is the one who arrives when the whole world has departed.
Hire a young carpenter but consult an old physician.
A room common to many will be swept by none.
Easier to rule a kingdom than to run a family.
Disease can be cured, fate is incurable.
When you go outside, watch the weather;
When you come inside, watch people's faces.
A dog won't forsake his master because of his poverty as a son never forsakes his mother for her homely appearance.
If a son is uneducated, his father is to blame.
Everyday cannot be a feast of lanterns.
If the family lives in harmony, family affairs will prosper.
To understand your parents' love, raise children yourself.
Good advice, like good medicine, is hard to swallow.
Dream different dreams while in the same bed.
Knowing is not as good as loving; loving is not as good as enjoying.
It is the beautiful bird which invariably gets caged.
Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees beauty.
Different flowers look good to different people.
Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.
A vacant mind is open to all suggestions as a hollow building echoes all sounds.
The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names.
When we lose, we don't lose the lesson.
A book is like a garden carried in a pocket.
A closed mind is like a closed book; just a block of wood.
Learning a lesson never ends.
There are no mistakes, only lessons.
Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.
Study without reflection is a waste of time; reflection without study is dangerous.
If you wish to know the mind of a man, listen to his words.
After three days without reading, talk becomes flavourless.
Avoid the employment of servants too pleasing to the eye.
