人在橋上過 Passing over a bridge, I see 橋流水不流 The bridge flow, but not the water.

He who digs a pit for others falls in himself

“The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “My Companions are as stars.

Yet, by merely looking at the star, the man knows the road from roadlessness and reaches his goal.”
― Jalaluddin Rumi
