The Master said, A gentleman, in his plans, thinks of the Way; he does not think how he is going to make a living. Even farming sometimes entails 5 times of shortage; and even learning may incidentally lead to high pay. But a gentleman's anxieties concern the progress of the Way; he has no anxiety concerning poverty.

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 great mountain must collapse, the mighty beam must break and the wise man wither like a plant.

The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the world at large.

A man who reviews the old so as to find out the new is qualified to teach others.

Happiness is not at the top of the mountain, but in how to climb.

Silence is the true friend that never betrays.
