Four Pithy Chinese Proverbs

One who is tripped by the foot can get up again, one who is tripped by the tongue may not.


More demands on oneself and few demands on others will keep resentment at bay.


In a struggle between strength and patience, patience will win.


Gems are polished by rubbing, just as men are made brilliant by trials. 


All quotes are from Best~Loved Chinese Proverbs compiled by Theodora Lau.
