If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people.

If your strength is small, don’t carry heavy burdens. If your words are worthless, don’t give advice.

If you must play, decide upon three things at the start: the rules of the game, the stakes, and the quitting time.

Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still.
