When we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.
To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage.
The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved.
I am not one who was born in the possession of knowledge; I am one who is fond of antiquity, and earnest in seeking it there.
He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it.
Have no friends not equal to yourself.
By nature, men are nearly alike; by practice, they get to be wide apart.
They must often change who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.
When anger rises, think of the consequences.
To be able under all circumstances to practice five things constitutes perfect virtue; these five things are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness and kindness.
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do.
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
He who will not economize will have to agonize.
Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.
Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.
Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.
