Confucius Says:

1. A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions. 

 2. By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest. 

 3. Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. 

 4. I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

 6. If you shoot for the stars and hit the moon, it's OK. But you've got to shoot for something. A lot of people don't even shoot.

 8. Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. 

 9. Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. 

 10. Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure.

 17. 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. 

 18. There are three methods to gaining wisdom. The first is reflection, which is the highest. The second is limitation, which is the easiest. The third is experience, which is the bitterest. 

 19. They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom. 

 20. To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it.
