Benevolence is the characteristic element of humanity.

A superior man may be made to go to the well, but he cannot be made to go down into it. He may be imposed upon, but he cannot be fooled.

When wealth is centralized, the people are dispersed. When wealth is distributed, the people are brought together.

One hundred women are not worth a single testicle.

A man of humanity is one who, in seeking to establish himself, finds a foothold for others and who, in desiring attaining himself, helps others to attain.

Wouldst thou know if a people be well governed, or if its laws be good or bad, examine the music it practices.

The man of noble mind seeks to achieve the good in others and not their evil. The little-minded man is the reverse of this.
