The gentleman holds justice to be of highest importance. If a gentleman has courage but neglects justice, he becomes insurgent. If an inferior man has courage but neglects justice, he becomes a thief.
ConfuciusThe way of the superior person is threefold; virtuous, they are free from anxieties; wise they are free from perplexities; and bold they are free from fear.
ConfuciusWhen one cultivates to the utmost the principles of his nature, and exercises them on the principle of reciprocity, he is not far from the path.
