As the scream of the eagle is heard when she has passed over, so a man’s name remains after his death.
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today.
Never has a man more need of his intelligence than when a fool asks him a question.
One dog barks at something, the rest bark at him. a boaster and a liar are cousins-german.
Diligence is a treasure of inestimable price, and prudence is the pledge of security.

Virtue: climbing a hill; vice: running down.
Make friends with what is good in a man and not his goods.
Shame is forgotten, debts are not.
To be for one day entirely at leisure is to be for one day an immortal.

And this one wasn’t included, but is also notable:
“When there is food on the table
there are many problems.
When there is no food on the table
there is one problem.”
*All pandemics originate in China.
Not a saying but a one liner I like:
A man who owned a Chinese restaurant decided to retire so he could spend less time with his family.
Bravo.
Even the attempts at renaming old diseases didn’t work because origins were later found.
I was a child when I got the “Asian Flu” in 1957. It killed a lot of people but I made it past, even though I had rheumatic fever in 1954.
History Channel:
According to a new article published in the January 2014 issue of the journal War in History, historian Mark Humphries of Canada’s Memorial University of Newfoundland points to newly unearthed records to make the case that the lethal influenza pandemic first appeared in China in 1917 and then exploded across the globe ....

Only when a mosquito lands on your testicles, you will truly learn that there is always a way to solve problems without using anger and violence - Confucius.

Man who sinks into woman’s arms soon will find arms in woman’s sink.
Man who eat many prunes get good run for money.
Man who jump off cliff jump to conclusion.
Someone asked me why that was the case.
Three reasons.
In China people live with their food animals in the house. This allows viruses to pass back and forth until they become lethal.
In China they have a lack of fuel so they cook their food lightly or not at all. This allows bacteria and parasites to survive.
In China they do not use soap to clean the body and hands. They use creams and lotions. You skin is nice and soft and still covered in bacteria.
Two other reasons is that they eat everything rather then restricting themselves to mammals and certain birds like most of the rest of the world. Reptiles and bugs have a lot of pathogens that mammals have little to no defense against. Lastly a lack of charity. Taking care of the poor is a cultural norm everywhere but the far east. There it is believed that the poor are "paying" for past bad deeds. If you help then you are possibly interfering with their payment plan. That will mean they will just have to pay more, apparently celestial interest rates are killer, and then you will have to pay for that bad deed in your next life.
Confucius say “When communists count votes, all the votes are for communists”
Here’s one for Eric Swalwell... “Man who fart in church sit in own pew”
Asian rice fields were and are petri dishes for all sorts of plagues and pandemics. Now, it’s mostly done in poorly secured labs.
Maxwell Smart: (surprised) “Confucius said that??”
Harry Hoo: “As a small child.”

I doubt Chinese use the term Cousins-German, but I do appreciate the wisdom you helped provide. Thank you. Now I have a new website to go to.
