He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good.

The superior man sets his person at rest before he moves; he composes his mind before he speaks.

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

Do not unto another that you would hot have him do unto you. Thou needest this law alone. It is the foundation of all the rest.

Time flows away like the water in the river.

When abroad, behaveto everyone as if interviewing an honored guest; in directing the people, act as if you were assisting at a great sacrafice; DO NOT DO TO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD NOT LIKE DONE TO YOURSELF: so there will be no murmuring against you in the country, and none in the family; your public life will arouse no ill-will nor your private life any resentment.

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.
