A skillful commander is not overbearing. A skillful fighter does not become angry. A skillful conqueror does not compete with people. One who is skillful in using men puts himself below them. This is called the strength to use men. This is called matching Heaven, The highest principle of old.

Success is as dangerous as failure. Hope is as hollow as fear.

To attain knowledge, add things every day To attain wisdom, remove things every day

He who steals a hook shall be hanged; while he who steals the state shall be crowned as prince.

If I have even just a little sense, I will walk on the main road and my only fear will be of straying from it. Keeping to the main road is easy, But people love to be sidetracked.

Intelligent people know others. Enlightened people know themselves.

Without stepping out the door, you can know the world.
