-Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without one.
-He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.
-Of all the strategems, to know when to quit is the best.
-One cannot refuse to eat just because there is a chance of being choked.
-We are not so much concerned if you are slow as when you come to a halt.
-Keep a green tree in your heart, and perhaps a songbird will come.
