Give a man a fish, feed home for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed for a lifetime.

Only one who bursts with enthusiasm do I instruct; Only one who bubbles with excitement do I enlighten. If I hold up one corner and you do not come back to me with the other three, I do not continue the lesson.

If you know, say you know. If you don't know, say you don't know.

When the perfect order prevails, the world is like a home shared by all. Leaders are capable and virtuous. Everyone loves and respects their own parents and children as well as the parents and children of others. The old are cared for, adults have jobs, children are nourished and educated. There is a means of support for all those who are disabled or find themselves alone in the world. Everyone has an appropriate role to play in the family and society. Devotion to public duty leaves no place for idleness. Scheming for ill gain is unknown. Sharing displaces selfishness and materialism.

To be fond of learning is near to wisdom.

The man who loves his job never works a day in his life.

A common man marvels at uncommon things. A wise man marvels at the commonplace.
