OBJECT
Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without one.
Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness
A book is like a garden carried in the pocket.
A book holds a house of gold.
Have a mouth as sharp as a dagger but a heart as soft as tofu.
How can you expect to find ivory in a dog's mouth?
An inch of time is an inch of gold but you can't buy that inch of
time with an inch of gold.
It is easy to dodge a spear that comes in front of you but hard to
keep harms away from an arrow shot from behind.
Lift a stone only to drop on your own feet.
Only when all contribute their firewood can they build up a strong
fire.
