Confucius
It is the way of the superior man to prefer the concealment of his virtue, while it daily becomes more illustrious, and it is the way of the mean man to seek notoriety, while he daily goes more and more to ruin.

When one burns one's bridges, what a very nice fire...What the caterpillar calls the end of the world...The magic doesn't come from within the director...Our republic is a responsible nuclear state...The superior man does what is proper...Not to be cheered by praise, not to be grieved...
