Chinese Proverbs and Sayings

Money is not everything but without money you will have nothing

It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness

Only the wisest and the stupidest of men never change

Failure is the foundation of success and the means by which it is achieved

To guess is cheap. To guess wrong is expensive

In difficulty, you understand your friends

The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones

Make those that are near you happy and those that are far away will come

A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials

The essence of knowledge is, having it, to apply it, not having it, to confess your ignorance

Every journey begins with one step
