Don't be concerned about others not appreciating you. Be concerned about your not appreciating others.

If you did not do so for the sake of riches,You must have done so for the sake of novelty.

When you breathe, you inspire, and when you do not breathe, you expire.

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

From the Son of Heaven down to the mass of the people, all must consider the cultivation of the person the root of everything besides.

Exemplary persons are steadfast in the face of adversity, while petty persons are engulfed by it.

If you don't know how to live, why wonder about death?
