Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. Confucius (551–479 BC) When things thus find the proper point to which to come, they are sure to become great. The Yi Jing It seems to never occur to fools that merit and good fortune are closely united. J. W. von Goethe (1749–1832) In a game of mutual deception an Englishman or an American can beat a Chinese nine times out of ten. Bertrand Russell (1922: 210) Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Chinese Proverb It is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get. Confucius (551 BC–479 BC)
When cleverness and knowledge arise, great lies will flourish. When relatives fall out with one another there will be filial duty and love. When states are in confusion there will be faithful servants. Laozi (6th–4th BC?)
