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.

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

Is any one able for one day to apply his strength to virtue? I have not seen the case in which his strength would be sufficient.

Ability will never catch up with the demand for it.

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.

It is man that makes truth great, and not truth that makes man great.

The object of the superior man is truth.
