THOUGHTS OF CONFUCIUS

* Study without reflection is a waste of time;  reflection 
   without study is dangerous. 
* He who sacrifices his conscience to ambition burns a picture to 
   obtain the ashes. 
* It is the beautiful bird which gets caged.

* Good words are like a string of pearls. 
* The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected 
   without trials. 

* A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it is 
   committing another mistake. 
* When your horse is on the brink of a precipice it is too late 
   to pull the reins. 
* Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it. 

* Fool me once, shame on you;  fool me twice, shame on me. 
* A man must insult himself before others will. 
* When anger arises, think of the consequences. 
* Talk does not cook rice. 
* They who know the truth are not equal to those who love it, and 
   they who love it are not equal to those who find pleasure in 
   it. 
* If you walk on snow you cannot hide your footprints. 
* When the ear will not listen, the heart escapes sorrow. 
* The daughter of a crab does not give birth to a bird.

* The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. 
*  One's good deeds are only known at home;  one's bad deeds far 
   away. 
* A needle is sharp only at one end. 
* Those who know when they have enough are rich.
