The more you sweat in peacetime, the less you bleed during war. Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand. If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow. If you get up one more time than you fall you will make it through. If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow. Distance tests a horse's strength. Time reveals a person's character. The man who strikes first admits that his ideas have given out. A thorn defends the rose, harming only those who would steal the blossom. Be not afraid of going slowly; be only afraid of standing still. To prophesy is extremely difficult - especially with regard to the future. |
