“In every man sleeps a prophet, and when he wakes there is a little more evil in the world.”

“Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.”

“When people sleep, others stay awake to effect changes in the world. Every other person wakes up in the morning to a totally different world”

“China is a sleeping giant; let him sleep, for if he wakes, he will shake the World.”

“Know mankind well, don't degrade every man as evil, and don't exalt every man thinking he is good. He who cannot discover himself; cannot discover the world.”

“He did not know which was more painful, the waking or the sleeping. When he slept, he dreamed: dark disturbing dreams of blood and broken promises. When he woke, there was nothing to do but think, and his waking thoughts were worse than nightmares.”
