Even in killing men, observe the rules of propriety.

If you look into your own heart, and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear?

A good man does not worry about not being known by others, but rather is concerned about not knowing them.

Not to alter one's faults is to be faulty indeed.

The determined scholar and the man of virtue will not seek to live at the expense of injuring their virtue. They will even sacrifice their lives to preserve their virtue complete.

A hammer shatters glass but it also forges steel.

In your promises cleave to what is right, And you will be able to fulfill your word.
