Great Chinese proverbs

We regard Chinese only for their efficiency in churning out everything at the cheapest rate but the truth is that apart from this their ancient wisdom is something which must be regarded very highly.

Here are some of their proverbs which I deemed admirable-

*Kill one to warn a hundred. 

*To know the road ahead, ask those coming back.

*Small men think they are small; great men never know they are great. 

*The great question is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with failure.

*Talk does not cook rice.

*Flies never get into an egg that has no crack. 

*Just as tall trees are known by their shadows, so can good men be known by their enemies.

*Those who do not study are only cattle dressed up in men's clothes.

*Man with one chopstick go hungry.

*War does not determine who is right, war determine who is left.
