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

The Way is not for, but from, man; if we take the Way as something superhuman, beyond man, this is not the real Way.

Of course you want to be rich and famous. It's natural. Wealth and fame are what every man desires. The question is: What are you willing to trade for it?

Rate the task above the prize; will not the mind be raised? Fight thine own faults, not the faults of others; will not evil be mended?

Have no friends not equal to yourself.

Be in harmony, yet be different.

The man who loves his job never works a day in his life.
