Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.

As you think, so shall you become.

A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough.

A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.

Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system.

Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.

Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.
