Love & Courage
"In True Love, One Finds Courage"
Confucius - Learning
"Learning without thought is labor lost;
thought without learning is perilous"
Only Through Letting Go
"Only through letting go can we truly
possess what is real"
And this is the Chinese symbol for 'I miss you'
WassalamuAlaykum

滴 水 之 恩 当 以 涌 泉 相 报
Literally: A drop of water shall be returned with a burst of spring. Meaning: Even if it was just a little help from others, you should return the favor with all you can when others are in need. 冰 冻 三 尺 非 一 日 之 寒
(ice+freeze+three+units(~feet),not+one+day's(7th and 8th)+chill)
Literally: Three feet of ice not result from one day of freezing weather. Moral: A predicament is not formed without a period of events creating it. Compare: Rome was not built in a day (Roma non fu fatta in un giorno, Italian proverb).
穴 来 风 未 必 无 因
(empty+cave+come+wind+not+surely+not+cause)
Literally: If the wind comes from an empty cave, it's not without a reason. Moral: Most seemingly strange rumours have an origin in fact.

Re: >> Chinese Sayings <<
I love these quotes... I love the Chinese script too Jazaakillaahu khayran
...I wonder at the one who extends his right hand
To his beloved at the time of seperation and he hastens therein!
I felt weak and incapable of saying farewell when I saw him
So my heart shook his hand whilst my eye wept....

Thanks for the post, I'm fascinated by the Chinese and Japanese language!
I've been learning Japanese for some time now too.
Have you ever read Sun Tzu's Art of War there are some very wise sayings in there that todays military generals use?

Time is like a river - it flows by and doesn't return.
Chinese Proverb
A gem is not polished without friction,
nor a man perfected without trials.
Chinese proverb
To believe in one's dreams is to spend all of one's life asleep.
Chinese proverb
And as for the one who fears standing in front of His Lord and restrains the soul from impure evil desires and lusts , verily, Paradise will be his abode [79:40-41]
