“The superior man is satisfied and composed; the mean man is always full of distress.”

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.

To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage.

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.

To know what you know and what you do not know, that is true knowledge.

To learn and at due times to repeat what one has learnt, is that not after all a pleasure?

When we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.
