Rather than caring about whether or not you are known, strive to be worth knowing.

How transcendent is the virtue of the middle conduct! Rare for a long time has been its practice among the people.

Study as though you cannot catch up to it, and as though you fear you are going to lose it.

Yin and yang, male and female, strong and weak, rigid and tender, heaven and earth, light and darkness, thunder and lightning, cold and warmth, good and evil...the interplay of opposite principles constitutes the universe.

Great as heaven and earth are, men still find some things in them with which to be dissatisfied. Thus it is that, were the superior man to speak of his way in all its greatness, nothing in the world would be found able to embrace it, and were he to speak of it in its minuteness, nothing in the world would be found able to split it.

When music and courtesy are better understood and appreciated, there will be no war.

What is necessary is to rectify names.
