Chinese maxims.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: R. Valencia and S. Bismark
IT PAYS TO HAVE INSIGHT WHEN CONfronted with problems in life. Here are wise words from the book, Chinese MaximsGolden Savings of Chinese Thinkers:
For a gentleman, the realization of the Way is like a long journey. It is like climbing a mountain, which must begin from somewhere low. (Real change begins from humility.)
Sincerity is the center of good conduct. (Sincerity is the key to advancement in life.)
He who oversteps his authority and uses his wealth to slight his superiors cannot last long. (Those who abuse power have no beneficial use!)
