To be fond of learning is near to wisdom.

The way of the superior man may be compared to what takes place in traveling, when to go to a distance we must first traverse the space that is near, and in ascending a height, when we must begin from the lower ground.

Let the states of equilibrium and harmony exist in perfection, and a happy order will prevail throughout heaven and earth, and all things will be nourished and flourish.

True wisdom is knowing what you don't know

It is better to play than do nothing.

Instead of being concerned that you have no office, be concerned to think how you may fit yourself for office. Instead of being concerned that you are not known, seek to be worthy of being known.

When you know a thing, to hold that you know it, and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it - this is knowledge.
