“Cold tea and cold rice are bearable, but not cold looks and cold words.”

Even when months and days are long, life is short.

One kind word can warm three winter months.

We learn little from victory, much from defeat.

The day you decide to do it is your lucky day.

Even a fool may be good at something.

Fear is only as deep as the mind allows.

We’re fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance.

A frog in a well does not know the great sea.

Experience the beauties of nature, and in doing so learn about yourself.

A bad wife spells a hundred years of bad harvest.

He who runs after two hares will catch neither.

Be humble. Even an expert can make mistakes.

Be not afraid of going slowly. Be afraid of standing still.

Fall down seven times, get up eight times.

Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.

Of flowers, the cherry blossom; of men, the warrior.
