While addressing the Australian Parliament, the leaders delivered old Chinese proverbs:

大海之闊，非一流之歸也: The ocean is vast because it admits numerous rivers.

國(guó)雖大，好戰(zhàn)必亡: A warlike state, however big it may be, will eventually fall.

Xi Jinping, president

有朋自遠(yuǎn)方來(lái)，不亦樂(lè)乎: It is a joy to have friends come from afar.

獨(dú)行快，眾行遠(yuǎn): If you want to walk fast, walk alone, but if you want to walk far, walk together.

Tony Abbott, Australian prime minister

好鄰居金不換: A good neighbor is not to be traded for gold.

Bill Shorten, Australian opposition leader
