The Chinese Scholar

This is the brother of yesterday's Chinese Mathematician.

Is he a Confucian or a Taoist - I don't know. I tried to sell a book on E-bay on Confucianism and Taoism. It didn't sell. Maybe I will read it instead.

Confucius may have said:

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.

Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.

Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

Ignorance is the night of the mind, but a night without moon and star.

AND MY FAVOURITE....

It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.
