A man is not honest simply because he never had a chance to steal

A lie travels round the world while truth is putting her boots on

Experience is a comb which nature gives to men when they are bald

Do not rejoice at my grief for when mine is old yours will be new

A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures for anything

You must neither strive for truth nor seek to lose your illusions

Laws control the lesser man Right conduct controls the greater one

It is absurd that a man should rule others who cannot rule himself

There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out

The glory is not in never failing but in rising every time you fall

Man stands for long time with mouth open before roast duck flies in

Still water has no mind to receive the image of the migrating geese

Kindness is a language which the blind can see and the deaf can hea

Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come

A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor s book
