To go outside what your charge was, and to try to solve everything yourself, is dangerous.

To have attained to the human form is a source of joy... What an incomparable bliss it is to undergo these countless transitions.

Understanding that rests in what it does not understand is the finest.

All men know the use of the useful, but nobody knows the use of the useless. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so that I can have a word with him?

Take care of your body, then the rest will automatically become stronger.

My description of wisdom has nothing to do with benevolence and righteousness, it is to do with being wise in one's own virtue, nothing more. My description of being has nothing to do with benevolence and righteousness, it is that one should be led by one's innate nature, nothing more.

There may be difficulty at the moment, but I will not lose the Virtue that I possess. It is when the ice and snow are on them that we see the strength of the cypress and the pine. I am grateful for this trouble around me, because it gives me an opportunity to realize how fortunate I am.
