To love a thing means wanting it to live.

The superior man thinks always of virtue; the common man thinks of comfort.

When we see persons of worth, we should think of equaling them; when we see persons of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.

Love of goodness without love of learning degenerates into simple-mindedness. Love of knowledge without love of learning degenerates into utter lack of principle. Love of faithfulness without love of learning degenerates into injurious disregard of consequences. Love of uprightness without love of learning degenerates into harshness. Love of courage without love of learning degenerates into insubordination. Love of strong character without love of learning degenerates into mere recklessness.

Let every man consider virtue as what devolves on himself. He may not yield the performance of it even to his teacher.

If I understand Change, I shall make no great mistake in Life

Those who know the TRUTH are not equal to those who love it.
