Sincerity is the way to heaven.

So I like life and I like righteousness; if I cannot keep the two together, I will let life go and choose righteousness.

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.

Friendship is one mind in two bodies.

Never lose your child's heart.

The way is near, but men seek it afar. It is in easy things, but men seek for it in difficult things.

When I say that all men have the mind which cannot bear to see the suffering of others, my meaning is illustrated this way: when two men suddenly see a child about to fall into a well, they all have a feeling of alarm and distress, not to gain friendship with the child's parents, nor to seek the praise of their neighbors and friends. From such a case, we see that a man without the feeling of commiseration is not a man. The feeling of commiseration is the beginning of humanity.
