Heaven means to be one with God.
Those who do not study are only cattle dressed up in men's clothes.
The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell.
Friendship with the upright, with the truthful and with the well informed is beneficial. Friendship with those who flatter, with those who are meek and who compromise with principles, and with those who talk cleverly is harmful.
He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it.
