A heart set on love will do no wrong.

Expect much from yourself and little from others and you will avoid incurring resentments

Love thy neighbor as thyself: Do not do to others what thou wouldst not wish be done to thyself: Forgive injuries. Forgive thy enemy, be reconciled to him, give him assistance, invoke God in his behalf.

The virtuous will be sure to speak uprightly; but those whose speech is upright may not be virtuous.

The Superior Man is all-embracing and not partial. The inferior man is partial and not all-embracing.

Let every man consider virtue as what devolves on himself. He may not yield the performance of it even to his teacher.
