To err and not reform, this may indeed be called error.

The gentleman prefers to be slow in word but diligent in action.

If a man withdraws his mind from the love of beauty, and applies it as sincerely to the love of the virtuous; if, in serving his parents, he can exert his utmost strength; if, in serving his prince, he can devote his life; if in his intercourse with his friends, his words are sincere - although men say that he has not learned, I will certainly say that he has.

The injury of prodigality leads to this, that he who will not economize will have to agonize.

Heaven gives long life to the just and the intelligent.

To learn and from time to time to apply what one has learned - isn't that a pleasure?

The superior man is firm in the right way and not merely firm.
