When you see a good man, try to emulate his example, and when you see a bad man, search yourself for his faults.

Listen much, keep silent when in doubt, and always take heed of the tongue; thou wilt make few mistakes. See much, beware of pitfalls, and always give heed to thy walk; thou wilt have little to rue. If thy words are seldom wrong, thy deeds leave little to rue, pay will follow.

To give oneself ernestly to securing righteousness and justice among the people, and while respecting the gods and demons, to keep aloof from them, that may be called wisdom.

To know that one knows what one knows, and to know that one doesn't know what one doesn't know, there lies true wisdom.

He who knows all the answers has not been asked all the questions.

The love to Wisdom is getting closer to the own bright path.

The object of the superior man is truth.
