Being in humaneness is good. If we select other goodness and thus are far apart from humaneness, how can we be the wise?

Virtue is not solitary; it is bound to have neighbors

To know it is not as good as to love it, and to love it is not as good as to take delight in it.

The superior man... does not set his mind either for or against anything, he will pursue whatever is right. The superior man thinks of virtue, the common man of comfort.

The great man is sparing in words but prodigal in deeds.

The gentleman holds justice to be of highest importance. If a gentleman has courage but neglects justice, he becomes insurgent. If an inferior man has courage but neglects justice, he becomes a thief.

A man should demand much from himself, but little from others. When you meet a man of worth, think how you may attain to his excellence. When you meet an unworthy one, then look within and examine yourself.
