To Become A Leader, You Must First

Be Aroused By Poetry; Structure Yourself With Propriety, Refine Yourself With Music.

Virtuous People Often Revenge Themselves For The Constraints To Which They Submit By The Boredom Which They Inspire.

When I Am With Others, They Are My Teachers. I Can Select Their Good Points And Follow Them, And Select Their Bad Points And Avoid Them.

In Antiquity Men Studied For Their Own Sake; Nowadays Men Study For The Sake Of Impressing Others.

Study The Past If You Would Define The Future. I Am Not One Who Was Born In The Possession Of Knowledge; I Am One Who Is Fond Of Antiquity, And Earnest In Seeking It There. Learning Without Thought Is Labor Lost; Thought Without Learning Is Perilous.
