A Gentleman Does Not Promote A Man

All Things Are Already Complete In Oneself.

There Are Not The Weeds The Ones That Drown The Good Seed, But The Negligence Of The Peasant.

When There Are Duties To Perform [true] Servants And Sons Serve Their Labors.

I Have Not Seen A Person Who Loved Virtue, Or One Who Hated What Was Not Virtuous. He Who Loved Virtue Would Esteem Nothing Above It.

If I Were Travelling With Two Partners, One Virtuous And One Dishonest, Both Would Be Useful As Teachers. I Would Perceive What's Good Of The First One And I Would Imitate Him Whereas I Would Try To Correct In Me The Defects I May See In The Second One.
