All things are already complete in us. There is no greater delight than to be conscious of right within us. If one strives to treat others as he would be treated by them, he shall not fail to come near the perfect life.

The feeling of compassion is the beginning of humanity.

To feed men and not to love them is to treat them as if they were barnyard cattle. To love them and not respect them is to treat them as if they were household pets.

There is no greater delight than to be conscious of sincerity on self-examination.

The best things in life come in threes, like friends, dreams, and memories.

The root of the kingdom is in the state. The root of the state is in the family. The root of the family is in the person of its head.

Human nature is disposed to do good.
