A gentleman considers justice to be essential in everything. He practices it according to the principles of propriety. He brings it forth in modesty and faithfully completes it. This is indeed a gentleman.

A man who does not think and plan long ahead will find trouble right at his door.

The superior man thinks always of virtue; the common man thinks of comfort.

Recompense injury with justice, and recompense kindness with kindness.

Thought, unassisted by learning, is dangerous.

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

One joy dispels a hundred cares.
