Love makes a spot beautiful: who chooses not to dwell in love, has he got wisdom?

The gentleman is calm and at ease. The gentleman is dignified but not proud; the small man is proud but not dignified.

He who is harmony with Nature hits the mark without effort and apprehends the truth without thinking.

A good man regards the root; he fixes the root, and ail else flows out of it. The root is filial piety; the fruit brotherly love.

Act with kindness but do not expect gratitude.

He who wished to secure the good of others, has already secured his own.

Can there be a love which does not make demands on its object?
