Isn't it a pleasure to study and practice what you have learned?

The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name.

Let a man be stimulated by poetry, established by the rules of propriety, and perfected by music.

The superior man... does not set his mind either for or against anything, he will pursue whatever is right. The superior man thinks of virtue, the common man of comfort.

He who rules by moral force is like the pole star, which remains in place while all the lesser stars do homage to it.

What is God-given is called nature; to follow nature is called Tao (the Way); to cultivate the way is called culture. Before joy, anger, sadness and happiness are expressed, they are called the inner self; when they are expressed to the proper degree, they are called harmony. The inner self is the correct foundation of the world, and the harmony is the illustrious Way. When a man has achieved the inner self and harmony, the heaven and earth are orderly and the myriad of things are nourished and grow thereby.

The superior man is easy to serve, but difficult to please ... The inferior man is difficult to serve, but easy to please.
