I saw some piglets suckling their dead mother. After a short while they shuddered and went away. They had sensed that she could no longer see them and that she wasn't like them any more. What they loved in their mother wasn't her body, but whatever it was that made her body live.

The superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability; he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the ability that he has.

Wisdom, humanity & courage, these three are universal virtues. The way by which they are practiced are one.

A blemish may be removed from a diamond by careful polishing, but evil words once spoken cannot be effaced.

When you serve your mother and father it is okay to try to correct them once in a while. But if you see that they are not going to listen to you, keep your respect for them and don't distance yourself from them. Work without complaining.

He who fails to prepare, prepares to fail

A bit of fragrance always clings to the hand that gives roses. If you are generous, you will gain everything.
