At 15 I Set My Heart On Learning; At 30 I Firmly Took My Stand; At 40 I Had No Delusions; At 50 I Knew The Mandate Of Heaven; At 60 My Ear Was Attuned; At 70 I Followed My Heart's Desire Without Overstepping The Boundaries Of Right.

He Who Merely Knows Right Principles Is Not Equal To Him Who Loves Them.

Knowledge Is Merely Brilliance In Organization Of Ideas And Not Wisdom. The Truly Wise Person Goes Beyond Knowledge.
