Ability will never catch up with the demand for it.

And remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

To study and not think is a waste. To think and not study is dangerous.

The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin.

What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.

Benevolence is the characteristic element of humanity.

The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.

You cannot open a book without learning something.

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

Wherever you go, go with all your heart.

Silence is a true friend who never betrays.

An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.

Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.

Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles.

The Superior Man is all-embracing and not partial. The inferior man is partial and not all-embracing.

What you know, you know, what you don't know, you don't know.

They who know the truth are not equal to those who love it, and they who love it are not equal to those who delight in it.

The superior man, extensively studying all learning, and keeping himself under the restraint of the rules of propriety, may thus likewise not overstep what is right.

When one cultivates to the utmost the principles of his nature, and exercises them on the principle of reciprocity, he is not far from the path. What you do not like when done to yourself, do not do to others.
