Sincerity is that whereby self-completion is effected, and its way is that by which man must direct himself.

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

He who requires much from himself and little from others, will keep himself from being the object of resentment.

He who rules by moral force is like the pole star, which remains in place while all the lesser stars do homage to it.

He who conquers himself is the mightiest warrior.

Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men.

A man may not transgress the bounds of major morals, but may make errors in minor morals.
