What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others.
Acquire new knowledge whilst thinking over the old, and you may become a teacher of others.
The superior man limits his achievements.
It cannot be when the root is neglected that what springs from it will be well ordered.
The demands that a great man makes are on himself; those of a petty man are upon others.
The path may not be left for an instant. If it could be left, it would not be the path.
