The superior man does what is proper to the station in which he is; he does not desire to go beyond this. In a position of wealth and honor, he does what is proper to a position of wealth and honor. In a poor and low position, he does what is proper to a poor and low position.

Never give a sword to a man who can't dance.

It is better to live in peace than in bitterness and strife

When the wind blows,the grass bends.

Ah, music, sacred tongue of God! I hear thee calling and I come.
