Women And People Of Low Birth Are Very Hard To Deal With. If You Are Friendly To Them, They Get Out Of Hand, And If You Keep Your Distance, They Resent It.

The Superior Man Loves His Soul; The Inferior Man Loves His Property.

Listen Much, Keep Silent When In Doubt, And Always Take Heed Of The Tongue; Thou Wilt Make Few Mistakes. See Much, Beware Of Pitfalls, And Always Give Heed To Thy Walk; Thou Wilt Have Little To Rue. If Thy Words Are Seldom Wrong, Thy Deeds Leave Little To Rue, Pay Will Follow.

Let Every Man Consider Virtue As What Devolves On Himself. He May Not Yield The Performance Of It Even To His Teacher.

At 15 I Set My Heart On Learning; At 30 I Firmly Took My Stand; At 40 I Had No Delusions; At 50 I Knew The Mandate Of Heaven; At 60 My Ear Was Attuned; At 70 I Followed My Heart's Desire Without Overstepping The Boundaries Of Right.
