I have never seen one who really loves goodness or one who really hates wickedness. One who really loves goodness will not place anything above it. One who really hates wickedness will practice goodness in such a way that wickedness will have no chance to get at him. Is there anyone who has devoted his whole strength to doing good for even as long as a single day? I have not seen anyone give up such an attempt because he had not the strength to go on. Perhaps there is such a case, but I have never seen it.

A superior man may be made to go to the well, but he cannot be made to go down into it. He may be imposed upon, but he cannot be fooled.

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

Not feeling compassion for a stranger is like not feeling when one's foot has caught fire

He who sling mud, lose ground.

Sincerity is the end and beginning of things; without sincerity there would be nothing.

All men are born good.
