Let Mourning Stop When One's Grief Is

A Nation's Character Is Typified By Its Dancers.

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.

Wouldst Thou Know If A People Be Well Governed, Or If Its Laws Be Good Or Bad, Examine The Music It Practices.

I Do Not Want A Friend Who Smiles When I Smile, Who Weeps When I Weep; For My Shadow In The Pool Can Do Better Than That.

The Gentleman Sees What Is Right While The Small Man Sees What Is Profitable.
