A superior man may be made to go to the well, but he cannot be made to go down into it. He may be imposed upon, but he cannot be fooled.
If you know, say you know. If you don't know, say you don't know.
A good man does not make a warrior, just as good steel does not go for nails.
Justice for All in the World
If your plan is for one year plant rice. If your plan is for ten years plant trees. If your plan is for one hundred years educate children.
A superior man in dealing with the world is not for anything or against anything. He follows righteousness as the standard.
