When a man is guided by the principles of reciprocity and consciousness, he is not far from the moral law. Whatever you don't wish for yourself don't do unto others.

The man of upright life is obeyed before he speaks.

Knowledge is recognizing what you know and what you don't.

Be strict with yourself but least reproachful of others and complaint is kept afar.

The real fault is to have faults and not amend them.

Virtue is not left to stand alone. He who practices it will have neighbors.

One who has accumulated virtue will certainly also possess eloquence; but he who has eloquence doe not necessarily possess virtue.
