When you see a good man, think of emulating him; when you see a bad man, examine your own heart.

To know, is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge. When you say something, say what you know. When you don't know something, say you don't know. That is knowledge.

It is true that we shall not be able to reach perfection, but in our struggle toward it we shall strengthen our characters and give stability to our ideas, so that, whilst ever advancing calmly in the same direction, we shall be rendered capable of applying the faculties with which we have been gifted to the best possible account.

Signs and symbols rule the world, not words nor laws.

Virtue is not solitary; it is bound to have neighbors

If a man has no humaneness what can his propriety be like? If a man has no humaneness what can his happiness be like?
