The fool prematurely kills off the sickly plant that simply needed pruning, watering, and nurturing.
The fool sooner pulls a seedling than waters it, fearing it a weed and too impatient to find it a rose.
Prune the rose bush back to the ground, and watch her grow back stronger and more beautiful yet.
To avenge is to have mercy on; to ignore is to torture.
A mountain without a valley is but an elevated plain.
A mountain is born of its valley.
Remove choice from others and bear responsibility alone.
A single grain of sand weathers the beating of the entire ocean.

In aphorism, chinese, proverb on 20100123 at 00:36
Life’s lessons are learned not in a book, but in our heart.
[心得不是用书学的，就是用心学的]
No polish in the world can keep the dirt off a shoe’s sole.
The vast expanse unknown might be a desert; it might be an ocean.
With but a single footprint is the earth moved.
