Year | Chinese sayings and proverbs

The emperor is rich, but he cannot buy one extra year

He who could foresee affairs three days in advance would be rich for thousands of years

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

Better die ten years early than live ten years poor

A single conversation with a wise man is better than ten years of study

A smile will gain you ten more years of life

Rich men accumulate money; the poor accumulate years

O man, you who do not live a hundred years, why fret a thousand minutes?

Plan your year in the spring, your day at dawn

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago The second best time is today
