Every journey starts with a single step.
There is nothing more visible than what is secret, and nothing more manifest than what is minute.
To know everything is to know nothing, but to know nothing is to know everything.
When you see a good man, think of emulating him; when you see a bad man, examine your own heart.
Behind every smile there's teeth.
A superior man may be made to go to the well, but he cannot be made to go down into it. He may be imposed upon, but he cannot be fooled.
