Respect yourself and others will respect you.
Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.
I hear and I forget; I see and I remember; I do and I understand.
It doesn't matter how slow you go, as long as you don't stop.
Men's natures are alike, it is their habits that carry them far apart.
人必自重,而后人重之。
万物皆有动人之处，然非众人皆能洞悉。
不闻不若闻之，闻之不若见之，见之不若知之，知之不若行之。学至于行之而止矣。
步伐多慢无关紧要，只要你坚持不懈。
性相近，习相远也。
