Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage.

What is God-given is called nature; to follow nature is called Tao (the Way); to cultivate the way is called culture. Before joy, anger, sadness and happiness are expressed, they are called the inner self; when they are expressed to the proper degree, they are called harmony. The inner self is the correct foundation of the world, and the harmony is the illustrious Way. When a man has achieved the inner self and harmony, the heaven and earth are orderly and the myriad of things are nourished and grow thereby.

Return good for good; return evil with justice.

From a grain of sand in the Pearl comes.

The superior man undergoes three changes. Looked at from a distance, he appears stern; when approached, he is mild; when he is heard to speak, his language is firm and decided.

When you see a good man, think of emulating him; when you see a bad man, examine your own heart.

Listen widely to remove your doubts and be careful when speaking about the rest and your mistakes will be few.
