Virtue is not left to stand alone. He who practices it
will have neighbors.
Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.
Respect yourself and others will respect you.
When anger rises, think of the consequences.
Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.
It is more shameful to distrust our friends
than to be deceived by them.
It is not the failure of others to appreciate your
abilities that should trouble you, but rather your failure to appreciate
theirs.
Never give a sword to a man who can't
dance.
Tsze-Kung asked, saying, 'Is there one word which may
serve as a rule of practice for all one's life?" The Master said, "Is
not Reciprocity such a word? What you do not want done to yourself, do
not do to others."
Recompense injury with justice, and recompense kindness
with kindness.
Have no friends not equal to yourself.
It is only the benevolent man who is capable of liking or
disliking other men.
A youth is to be regarded with respect. How do you know
that his future will not be equal to our present?
