Be vigilant! Be vigilant! If an evil is minor, resist it nonetheless. If a good deed is trifling, perform it all the same. Only wisdom and virtue can truly win men's devotion.
Only wisdom and virtue can truly win men's devotion.
Never do an evil act just because it is trivial; never leave a good act undone just because it's small.
All men have their appointed time; that's something no horse can change.
The northern people are riders and the southern people sailors; it is said quite true.
Do no evilness because it is a small one; do not leave a small deed undone because it is just a petty one.
