Fortune Cookie Wisdom
Pushing your luck does not count as exercise
Don’t beat your drum while in the Tigers cave
If you beat your horse you will have to walk
Wisdom is not a flower to pluck, but the Mountain difficult to climb
The three great physicians Nature, time, and patience
Two Tiger’s can’t live on the same mountain
The man who honors his teacher, honors himself
Confusions says one who runs in front of car gets tired, one who runs behind gets exhausted
Fortune Cookie Wisdom 
Patience is the answer to success
We do not know the value of water, until the well is dry
The superior person fulfills their purpose but does not boast of their accomplishments
The wise person seeks everything in themselves, the ignorant person tries to get everything from somebody else
If the dark element seeks to achieve a position to which it is not entitled and tries to rule instead of serving, it draws upon itself the fury of the dragon
He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough
Man follows the way of earth, Earth follows the way of heaven, Heaven follows the way of Tao, Tao follows the way of nature
Separately we are as fragile as reeds, together we are as strong as reeds tied in a bundle
Fortune Cookie Wisdom
Teachers open the door, but you must enter yourself
Wisdom is not a flower to pluck, but the mountain difficult to climb
Don’t compare your life to others, you have no idea what their journey is like
Growing old beats the alternative, dying young
If we threw all of our problems on a pile, and we saw everyone else’s, we would grab ours back
Make peace with your past so you won’t screw up the present
Fortune Cookie Wisdom
Do Not climb a tree to look for fish, do not go swimming to look for birds
Do not follow in the footsteps of ancient men of old, but seek to find what they sought, and make your own footsteps
How shall I grasp martial arts, do not grasp it. That which remains when there is no more grasping is the self, that will lead you somewhere, you can not see
Tie two bird togther even though they have four wings they can not fly
Peace can not be kept by using force, it can only be reached through understanding
The stubborn Oak tree will stand firm, and strong against the wind, while the Willow tree will yeild to the on coming wind force, and thus re-direct it's energy, not wasting it's own
