Let people take death seriously, and not travel far.

Don't imagine that you'll discover {the truth} by accumulating more knowledge. Knowledge creates doubt, and doubt makes you ravenous for more knowledge. You can't get full eating this way.

I am good to people who are good. I am also good to people who are not good. Because Virtue is goodness.

The wise cares about everyone, and he becomes an example to all.

Because one believes in oneself, one doesn't try to convince. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn't need others' approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.

Cultivate virtue in yourself, and it will be true.
