Chinese Proverbs

This is a list of Chinese proverbs:

• “Make happy those who are near, and those who are far will come”
• “One generation plants the trees, and another gets the shade” - looks like one by Saint-Exupery
• “There are many paths to the top of the mountain, but the view is always the same”
• “He who depends on himself will attain the greatest happiness.” - that's lonely…
• “A man should choose a friend who is better than himself. There are plenty of acquaintances in the world; but very few real friends.” - I guess very banal one
• “The palest ink is better than the sharpest memory”
• “If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people” - or better "get an education"?
• “Just as tall trees are known by their shadows, so are good men known by their enemies”
• “He who seeks vengeance must dig two graves: one for his enemy and one for himself” - I believe, that's true

• “Don't consider your reputation and you may do anything you like”
