Tyranny is more cruel than a tiger.
How can one be acceptable without being trustworthy in words?
Do not worry that your abilities are not
appreciated. Just make sure that you possess them.
Being strict with oneself and lenient to others is sure to save one from ill will.
Going too far and not going far enough are equally bad.
Stick to the way to your goal, base yourself on virtue, lean upon benevolence, and take your recreation in the six arts (music, the rites, archery, carriage driving, classic books and arithmetic).
A wise man is never cheated, a virtuous man is never worried and a courageous man is never afraid
.
Being benevolent means to love people. The greatest benevolence is to love one's own parents.
Lack of patience in small matters will bring destruction to overall plans.
If you understand what learn, say you do; if not, say you do not. Only then are you an intelligent man.
When a man speaks, he should think of his acts; when he acts, he should think of what he said.
A gentleman takes it as a disgrace to let his words out-strip his deeds.
A gentleman should not be like a utensil. He should have broad knowledge and not be confined to one use.
A gentleman is always broad-minded while a petty man is always full of anxiety.
