When prosperity comes, do not use all of it.

Give a bowl of rice to a man and you will feed him for a day. Teach him how to grow his own rice and you will save his life.

Man shoot at nothing, sure to hit it.

There is good government when those who are near are made happy, and when those who are afar are attracted.

Consideration for others is the basis of a good life, a good society.

When a man comes to me, I accept him at his best, not at his worst. Why make so much ado? When a man washes his hands before paying a visit, and you receive him in that clean state, you do not thereby stand surety for his always having been clean in the past.

Do not worry if others do not understand you. Instead worry if you do not understand others.
