A single spark can set a prairie on
fire.
Water can both sustain and sink a ship.
Count not what is lost, but what is left.
If there is a strong general there will be no weak soldiers.
To extend your life by a year take one less bite each meal.
Peace only comes when reason rules.
Even the tallest tower started form the ground.
Eloquence provides only persuasion, but truth buys loyalty.
Wisdom is attained by learning when to hold one's tongue.
A single tree cannot make a forest

If one eats less one will taste more.
One hand alone cannot clap, it takes two to quarrel.
It does not matter if the cat is black or white, so long as it catches mice.
Cowards have dreams, brave men have visions
Learning is like the horizon; there is no limit.
The old horse will know the way
A good friend shields you from the storm
Change the skin, wash the heart
Sow melon, reap melon; sow beans, reap beans.
One sings, all follow.

Fortune has a fickle heart and a short memory.
Harsh words and poor reasoning never settle anything.
Dangerous enemies will meet again in narrow streets.
Better to bend in the wind than to break.
Do not kill the hen for her eggs.
First attain skill; creativity comes later.
Make the cap fit the head.
A single beam cannot support a great house.
Do not be concerned with things outside your door.
Wise men may not be learned; learned men may not be wise.

Crows are black the world over.
Do not lift a rock only to drop it on your own foot
Kill the chicken to frigthen the monkey
Wait long, strike fast.
Do not wait until you're thirsty to dig a well
One who would pick the roses must bear with thorns
Failure is the mother of success.
Do not climb a tree to look for a fish
Only time and effort brings proficiency
Distance tests the endurance of a horse; time reveals a man's character.
