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.

The way of truth is like a great highway. It is not hard to find.

The gap between enthusiasm and indifference is filled with failures. The great man is he that does not lose his child's heart.

Secure property in hand leads to peace in mind.

Evil exists to glorify the good. Evil is negative good. It is a relative term. Evil can be transmuted into good. What is evil to one at one time, becomes good at another time to somebody else.

The way is One and only One. The way is close at hand, but men seek it afar.

Listen to a man's words and look at the pupil of his eye. How can a man conceal his character?
