If you don't know how to serve men, why worry about serving the gods?

If you know, say you know. If you don't know, say you don't know.

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.

One who will study for three years. Without thought of reward. Would be hard indeed to find.

If a man is respectful he will not be treated with insolence. If he is tolerant he will win the multitude. If he is trustworthy in word his fellow men will entrust him with responsibility. If he is quick he will achieve results.

Happiness does not consist in having what you want, but in wanting what you have

The superior man is intelligently, not blindly, faithful.
