What is most needed for learning is a humble mind.

Those who are firm, enduring, simple and unpretentious are the nearest to virtue.

Do unto others what you want done unto you.

That a man lives is because he is straight. That a man who dupes others survives is because he has been fortunate enough to be spared.

The Master said, "Wealth and honor are things that all people desire, and yet unless they are acquired in the proper way I will not abide them. Poverty and disgrace are things that all people hate, and yet unless they are avoided in the proper way I will not despise them. If the gentleman abandons ren, how can he be worthy of that name? The gentleman does not violate ren even for the amount of time required to eat a meal. Even in times of urgency or distress, he does not depart from it."

The person who is not strong enough gives up at the halfway point - but you are limiting yourself before even starting.

True goodness springs from a man's own heart. All men are born good.
