"A sweet soul will take you further than a sweet tongue."
"To see a man's true colors, tell him you're saving yourself for marriage. To see a woman's true colors, tell her you're poor."
"Of Manners gentle, of Affections mild; In Wit a man; Simplicity, a child."
"An evil person will have evil friends. A righteous person will have righteous friends. The company you keep is hidden treasure or masked demise."
"Martial arts is not about fighting; it's about building character."
