ConfuciusThe gentleman calls attention to the good points in others; he does not call attention to their defects. The small man does just the reverse of this.
ConfuciusAll things are nourished together without their injuring one another. The courses of the seasons, and of the sun and moon, are pursued without any collision among them. The smaller energies are like river currents; the greater energies are seen in mighty transformations. It is this which makes heaven and earth so great.
