good quotes

Never trust the advice of a man in difficulty. 

One kind word can warm three winter months. 

One written word is worth a thousand pieces of gold. 

The reverse side also has a reverse side. 

The smaller the margin, the greater the turnover. 

To teach is also to learn. 

Tigers die and leave their skins; people die and leave their names. 

Virtue is not knowing but doing. 

Vision without action is a daydream. Action with without vision is a 

nightmare. 

Wisdom and virtue are like the two wheels of a cart. 

A round egg can be made square according to how you cut it; words 

would be harsh according to how you speak them. 

All married women are not wives.

Deceive the rich and powerful if you will, but don't insult them. 

If a man deceive me once, shame on him; if he deceive me twice, 

shame on me.

If money be not thy servant, it will be thy master. 

If neither animal nor vegetable you be, then mineral you are. 

If you believe everything you read, better not read. 

Getting money is like digging with a needle. Spending it is like 

water soaking into the sand. 

If man has no tea in him, he is incapable of understanding truth and 

beauty. 

If you understand everything, you must be misinformed. 

If you want a thing done well, do it yourself. 

It is a beggar's pride that he is not a thief. 

Knowledge without wisdom is a load of books on the back of an ass. 

Even a thief takes ten years to learn his trade. 

Even a sheet of paper has two sides. 

There is no robber worse than a bad book.

Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box

Not everything which is bad comes to hurt us.

Beware of one who has nothing to lose.

He that flatters you more than you desire either has deceived you or wishes to deceive.

Often he who does too much does too little.

The right man comes at the right time.

He who enjoys good health is rich, though he knows it not.

The healthy die first.

If the wife sins, the husband is not innocent.

Misfortune does not always result in harm.

Moderate profits fill the purse.

Money begets money.

Where gold speaks every tongue is silent.

At a round table there is no dispute about place.

Voice of one, voice of none.

After the ship has sunk, everyone knows how she might have been saved.

He who knows little knows enough if he knows how to hold is tongue.

A hundred wagon loads of thoughts will not pay a single ounce of debt.
