The superior person is calm and composed; the lesser person is continuously worried and distressed.
Guide the people by law, subdue them by punishment; they may shun crime, but will be void of shame. Guide them by example, subdue them by courtesy; they will learn shame, and come to be good.
The only people who cannot change are the most wise and the most stupid.
The superior man thinks always of virtue; the common man thinks of comfort.
Be strict with yourself but least reproachful of others and complaint is kept afar.
He who knows all the answers has not been asked all the questions.
