THOMAS CARLYLE

Silence is deep as Eternity, speech is as shallow as Time.

JESUS of NAZARETH

You have heard that it hath been said - thou shalt love thy neighbour and hate thy enemy. But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you.

JOHN C. WU

Spring has its flowers,
Autumn has its moon,
Summer has its cooling breezes,
Winter has its snow.
If you allow no idle concerns to weigh on your heart,
Your whole life will be one perennial good season.
