It is better to play than do nothing.

Never do to others what you would not like them to do to you.

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.

If a man sets his heart on benevolence he will be free from evil.

If a man withdraws his mind from the love of beauty, and applies it as sincerely to the love of the virtuous; if, in serving his parents, he can exert his utmost strength; if, in serving his prince, he can devote his life; if in his intercourse with his friends, his words are sincere - although men say that he has not learned, I will certainly say that he has.

Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.

Do not wish for quick results, nor look for small advantages. If you seek quick results, you will not reach the ultimate goal. If you are led astray by small advantages, you will never accomplish great things.
