 All chinese stuff .
You love me, I love you. Love is like fire. Sculpture you and me out of clay, Break them up and put them together. Resculpture you and me. I am your clay, You are my clay. In life we share a single quilt, In death we share one coffin.
KUAN TAO SHENG
With beauty gone, love declines. SIMA QIAN
A dragon stranded in shallow water furnishes amusement for the shrimps. A tiger out in the plain is insulted by the dogs. PROVERB
Better be a demon in a large temple than a god in a small one. CHINESE SAYING DEPENDENCE
Blame yourself as you would blame others; excuse others as you would excuse yourself. CHINESE SAYING
Cutting the stream with a sword won’t stop the water from flowing; drinking wine to dispel sorrow only makes the pain more keen.
PROVERB
Do not do to others what you would not wish done to yourself. CONFUCIUS
He who tiptoes cannot stand; he who strides cannot walk. LAO TZU
If all are asleep, you cannot tell who is blind; if all are silent, you cannot tell who is dumb. Wake them up and ask them to look around; raise questions and ask them to answer, then the blind and the dumb will be exposed HAN FEITZU DILEMMA
Lights of a thousand stars do not make one moon. CHINESE SAYING
Married couples who love each other tell each other a thousand things without talking. CHINESE SAYING
MASK
Man’s face is not as good as a paper mask! Look at the red, black, white, blue, laughing, sad, and angry masks, no matter how you praise them or detest them, they never change.... What about man’s face? .... when you praise a man, he appears as if he is unwilling to accept it although he is very happy; when you criticize him, he looks as if he has the courage to take the criticism although he is quite annoyed. Man’s face is unreliable! We’d better learn from the mask, but never wear it. XU DISHAN
MEANS
If the wrong man uses the right means, the right means work in the wrong way. CHINESE SAYING
MISFORTUNE
Disease enter by the mouth, misfortunes come from it. PROVERB
Only two classes of men never change: The wisest of the wise and the dullest of the dull. CONFUCIUS
NATURE’S DELIGHT
Fish swimming in the water forget the water, birds riding the wind are unconscious of the wind. If you realize this, you can be above worldly considerations and enjoy Nature’s delight. HONG ZICHENG
Pull one hair and the whole body is affected. PROVERB
I do not know if I was a man dreaming that I was a butterfly, or if I am a butterfly dreaming I am a man. CHUANG TZU
The eye cannot see its lashes. The mirror cannot see your back...
Hope you have a good day with lots of love  and peace of mind

From my experience and my opinion
Usually in the past we admired many chinese in Siam,we have seen that they 're very proud people, very intelligent both men women ,clever ,honest in business, good cooks good friends you can trust,,
,,,a very loyal husband,, good father in law .lol.
Sadly ,things have changed but I assume not the old Saying.

My son's prior girlfriend is traditional Chinese and she is quite a wise and independent young woman. She possesses many wonderful qualities and would have been my pick for a daughter-in-law. I will always love her like she is mine.
People can say what they want, but Chinese persons are very clever in business and families stick together and work together and support one another.
There are many traditions that are upheld by the Chinese population.
Thank-you for sharing these proverbs (wisdom).

Non-chinese quotes
I don't want expensive gifts; I don't want to be bought. I have everything I want. I just want someone to be there for me, to make me feel safe and secure.
Princess Diana
I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I am very happy to do that, I want to do that.
Princess Diana
I live for my sons. I would be lost without them.
Princess Diana
