The Superior Man Does What Is Proper

Learning, Undigested By Thought, Is Labor Lost.

To Be Poor Without Murmuring Is Difficult. To Be Rich Without Being Proud Is Easy.

First And Foremost, Be Faithful To Your Superiors, Keep All Promises, Refuse The Friendship Of All Who Are Not Like You; And If You Have Made A Mistake, Do Not Be Afraid Of Admitting The Fact And Amending Your Ways.

Whatever Heaven Ordains Is Best.

Every Piece Of Marble Has A Statue In It Waiting To Be Released By A Person Of Sufficient Skill To Chip Away The Unnecessary Parts. Just As The Sculptor Is To The Marble, So Is Education To The Soul. It Releases It. For Only Educated People Are Free People. You Cannot Create A Statue By Smashing The Marble With A Hammer, And You Cannot By The Force Of Arms Release The Spirit Or The Soul Of People.
