Let mourning stop when one's grief is fully expressed.

To know it is not as good as to love it, and to love it is not as good as to take delight in it.

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

A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.

The gentleman has nine cares. In seeing he is careful to see clearly; in hearing he is careful to hear distinctly; in his looks he is careful to be kind, in his manner to be respectful, in his words to be sincere, in his work to be diligent. When in doubt he is careful to ask for information; when angry he has a care for the consequences; and when he sees a chance for gain, he thinks carefully whether the pursuits of it would be right.

What you do not wish upon yourself, extend not to others.

Learn, as if never overtaking your object, and yet as if apprehensive of losing it.
