Man who eat many prunes get good run for money.
Things have their roots and branches. Affairs have their beginnings and their ends. To know what is first and what is last will lead one near the Way.
When the multitude detests a man, inquiry is necessary; when the multitude likes a man, inquiry is equally necessary.
Good is no hermit. It has ever neighbors.
Rather than caring about whether or not you are known, strive to be worth knowing.
That a man lives is because he is straight. That a man who dupes others survives is because he has been fortunate enough to be spared.
