Wouldst Thou Know If A People Be

Don't Let Your Past Determine Your Destiny.

As The Water Shapes Itself To The Vessel That Contains It, So A Wise Man Adapts Himself To Circumstances.

Virtue Is Not Left To Stand Alone. He Who Practices It Will Have Neighbors.

A Youth Is To Be Regarded With Respect. How Do We Know That His Future Will Not Be Equal To Our Present? If He Reach The Age Of Forty Or Fifty, And Has Not Made Himself Heard Of, Then Indeed He Will Not Be Worth Being Regarded With Respect.

When Abroad, Behaveto Everyone As If Interviewing An Honored Guest; In Directing The People, Act As If You Were Assisting At A Great Sacrafice; Do Not Do To Others As You Would Not Like Done To Yourself: So There Will Be No Murmuring Against You In The Country, And None In The Family; Your Public Life Will Arouse No Ill-will Nor Your Private Life Any Resentment.
