Silence is a true friend who never betrays.
The end of the day is near when small men make long shadows.
To know everything is to know nothing, but to know nothing is to know everything.
Possessed of courage but devoid of morality, a superior man will make trouble while a small man will be a brigand.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.
