* Chinese Proverb
One night alone in prayer might make us new men, changed from poverty of soul to spiritual wealth, from trembling to triumphing.

* Mohandas K. Gandhi
One cannot manage too many affairs: like pumpkins in the water, one pops up while you try to hold down the other.
* Chinese Proverb
