Vietnamese Wisdom

[Show slideshow]
A good beginning is half the battle.
Go out for a day, get a full basket of knowledge.
A day of travelling will bring a basketful of learning.
If you want to travel fast use the old roads.
Many hands make light work.
Nice words are free, so choose ones that please another’s ears.
People say that time goes by; time says that the people go by.
Making peace is treasured.
Think today and speak tomorrow.
Courtesy costs nothing.
If you want to gather a lot of knowledge, act as if you are ignorant.
Man is the flower of the earth.
