Man stands for long time with mouth open before roast duck flies in. – Chinese Saying
To read a book for the first time is to make an acquaintance with a new friend; to read it for a second time is to meet an old one. – Chinese Saying
If I had a formula for bypassing trouble, I would not pass it around. Trouble creates a capacity to handle it. I dont embrace trouble; thats as bad as treating it as an enemy. But I do say: meet it as a friend, for youll see a lot of it, and had better be on speaking terms with it. – Oliver Wendell Holmes
