True goodness springs from a man's own heart. All men are born good.

While you are not able to serve men, how can you serve spirits of the dead...While you do not know life, how can you know about death

Reviewing the day's lessons. Isn't it joyful? Friends come from far. Isn't it delightful? One has never been angry at other's misunderstanding. Isn't he a respectable man?

To throw oneself into strange teachings is quite dangerous.

I am not concerned that I am not known, I seek to be worthy to be known.

Learn as though you would never be able to master it; hold it as though you would be in fear of losing it.

If you don't know how to serve men, why worry about serving the gods?
