Determine which quotes are Confucious (Chinese Philosopher) and which are Dad: 

1) "For any soul, living is a game associated with this body and mind. So many options, perceptions, emotions. Often, one steps out of this body, processes these to pick choices for the day. In the end, it is history."

2) "The superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability; he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the ability that he has"

3) "By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest

4) "Parents have expectations about how kids hope to be. Pepper seed sprouts and produce peppers but not roses. Humans are different. Freedom is desirable and I respect. Life at different stages has different needs."
