Confuscious Says:
No one can be so welcome as a guest that after three days, the host goes
unannoyed.
No one regards what is before his feet, for we all gaze into the stars.
There are any number of individuals who know how to win, and far fewer who
know how to make use of their victories.
There is no witness so dreadful, no accuser so terrible as the conscience
that dwells in every man.
Rigorous law is most often rigorous injustice.
Nothing is so easy that when set to with reluctance, it becomes difficult.
What can not be removed, becomes lighter through patience.
Whoever cultivates the golden mean avoids the poverty of a hovel and the
envy of a palace.
A word once sent abroad flies irrevocably.
How little you know about the age in which you live, if you figure that
honey is sweeter than cash in hand.
Everyone excels in something in which another fails.
There are some remedies which are far excessive of the disease they cure.
It's a damnable plan, if it admits of no modification.
Not every question deserves an answer, although some fools try!
It is the consolation of the wretched to have companions in misery.
No one returns with good will to the place that has done him mischief.
Everyone is bound to bear patiently the fruits of their own example.
A man who is always ready to believe what is told him, will not do well.
An object in possession seldom retains the charm it had in persuit.
He who imitates evil always goes beyond the limits of the example, whereas
he who imitates what is good, always falls short.
Extreme good fortune does not change people, it only unmasks them.
When a man boasts of his honesty, grab and hold your wallet.
Food, wonderful food, if it doesn't poison, it fattens!
A mile, walked with a friend, has only one hundred steps.
Just as a diamond is not polished without friction, a great man is not made
without adversity.
Bad luck comes by the pound, and leaves by the ounce.
Every new debt is yet another strand in the noose around your neck.
If foolishness were a disease, no one could come within sight of a
hospital.
Beware of fire, water, dogs, and the man who speaks under his breath.
The narrower the mind, the broader the tongue.
The crime that goes unpunished is a passionate progenitor.
You are the servant of words uttererd, the master of those suppressed.
The worlds worst children always live next door, even if you move!
Nothing gains converts like a convenient religion.
We are born with wisdom, stupidity is acquired.
Keep a man waiting, and he'll tally all your vices.
If you regularly eat green vegitables for 80 years, you'll never die young.
Beware of the cafe that serves crisp tapioca.
Never underestimate the power of a liar with imagination!
You can tell the whole truth to all of the people every time, and most
won't listen. Many will misunderstand, a few will comprehend what you are
doing and ignore you, and one or two might even listen.
You may have the right to go from the traffic signal, but if they other
driver is in a Peterbuilt truck, it may be judicious not to press your
right too far.
Those who would argue with fools would scream at the deaf, with much the
same result.
Never tell a hypocondriac about a new disease, unless you wish to start an
epidemic.
Even the best of all bargains costs something, and if it is that good, it
usually isn't worth having.
Always read over the letters you write, or some damn fool is going to think
they have found a kindred spirit.
If you don't answer the letters you receive, you won't have the problem
long.
If you wait there long enough, you'll be there when it happens, but you
won't like it, and wish you were elsewhere. Living means you must keep
moving.
Never start a game of Monopoly, if you smell smoke!
If at first you don't succeed, you have the potential of being a NASA
engineer!
That person lacks wisdom who reaches down to tie their shoelace when
walking through the neighbor's watermelon patch.
