Quotes
It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.
To know the road ahead, ask those coming back.
Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.
Fall seven times, stand up eight.
A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.
