I am not an originator but a transmitter.

A man without a mustache is a man without a soul.

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 wheel of fortune turns round incessantly, and who can say to himself, I shall today be uppermost.

I do not enlighten those who are not eager to learn, nor arouse those who are not anxious to give an explanation themselves. If I have presented one corner of the square and they cannot come back to me with the other three, I should not go over the points again.

Without that innate sense of human worth, a man cannot long endure adversity, nor can he long enjoy prosperity.

A man who does not forget an agreement is resolved and honorable man.
