"Great acts are made up of small deeds."
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
"The difficult problems in life always start off being simple. Great affairs always start off being small."
"A good traveller has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving."
"One who is too insistent on his own views finds few to agree with him."
"Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing."
"Some lose yet gain, others gain and yet lose."
"Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner."
"The softest things in the world overcome the hardest things in the world."
"New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings."
