While you are not able to serve men, how can you serve spirits of the dead...While you do not know life, how can you know about death

Please stop waiting for a better and more appropriate time to become happy and focus on the moment you live in. Happiness is not an arrival, it is the journey itself. Many people seek for happiness above the height of human beings, some below. Yet, happiness is exactly at the exact height of human beings.

A gentleman considers justice to be essential in everything. He practices it according to the principles of propriety. He brings it forth in modesty and faithfully completes it. This is indeed a gentleman.

There is good government when those who are near are made happy, and when those who are afar are attracted.

The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his action.

The gentleman is calm and at ease. The gentleman is dignified but not proud; the small man is proud but not dignified.

One who can move mountains start with the little stones.
