Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than... - Confucius

"When you see a good person, think of becoming like her/him. When you see someone not so good, reflect on your own weak points."

"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."

"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."

"What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others."

"It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them."
