The wise man does not lay up his own treasures.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones. When we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves. He who cherishes his life will not be careless. He who learns but does not think, is lost. Is it not a joy to have friends come from afar? Learning without thought is labor lost. The cautious seldom err. To know what is right and not do it is the worst cowardice. The superior man is concerned with virtue; the inferior man is concerned with comfort. The superior man is distressed by his want of ability. Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance. In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell. What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others. To see what is right and not do it is the want of courage. A man who uses force is afraid of reasoning. The expectations of life depend upon diligence. The noble-minded are calm and steady. He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good. To be wronged is nothing, unless you continue to remember it. The man who asks a question is a fool for a minute, the man who does not ask is a fool for life. The wise man does not grieve for what he has not, but rejoices for what he has. |
