When anger rises, think of the consequences.
He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good.
To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage. 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. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved.
They must often change who would be constant in happiness or wisdom. When we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.
Fine words and an insinuating appearance are seldom associated with true virtue. To be able under all circumstances to practice five things constitutes perfect virtue; these five things are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness and kindness.
Have no friends not equal to yourself.
