If either wealth or poverty are come by honesty, there is no shame.

A heart set on love will do no wrong.

The superior man is slow in his words and earnest in his conduct.

When things are investigated, then true knowledge is achieved; when true knowledge is achieved, then the will becomes sincere; when the will is sincere, then the heart is set right ; when the heart is set right, then the personal life is cultivated; when the personal life is cultivated, then the family life is regulated; when the family life is regulated, then the national life is orderly; and when the national life is orderly, then there is peace in this world.

Of all that Heaven produces and nourishes, there is none so great as man.

Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles.

If I am building a mountain and stop before the last basketful of earth is placed on the summit, I have failed.
