*What the superior man seeks is in himself. What the mean man seeks is in others.
*When you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it - this is knowledge.
*The superior man...does not set his mind either for anything, or against anything; what is right he will follow.
*The firm, the enduring, the simple, and the modest are near to virtue.
*Recompense injury with justice, and recompense kindness with kindness.
*By nature, men are nearly alike; by practice, they get to be wide apart.
*To see what is right, and not to do it, is want of courage or of principle.
*Ignorance is the night of the mind, but a night without moon and star.
*What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.
~The Confucian Analects
