It is an equal failing to trust everybody and to trust nobody

The fool ignores proverbs while the wise man learns from them

A secret is like a dove: when it leaves my hand it takes wing

A bit of fragrance always clings to the hand that gives roses

Your teacher can open the door but you must enter by yourself

A bit of fragrance always clings to the hand that gives roses

In man mortal sins are venial; in woman venial sins are mortal

What is told in the ear of a man is often heard 100 miles away

The bamboo which bends is stronger than the oak which persists

Whoever digs a pit for his neighbor should dig it his own size

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

Be not afraid of going slowly be afraid only of standing still

Be not afraid of going slowly be afraid only of standing still

Do not speak of secrets in a field that is full of little hills

If you neglect your art for one day it will neglect you for two
