Learning Without Thought Is Labour Lost.

The Scholar Does Not Consider Gold And Jade To Be Precious Treasures, But Loyalty And Good Faith.

There Are Some With Whom We May Study In Common, But We Shall Find Them Unable To Go Along With Us To Principles. Perhaps We May Go On With Them To Principles, But We Shall Find Them Unable To Get Established In Those Along With Us. Or If We May Get So Established Along With Them, We Shall Find Them Unable To Weigh Occurring Events Along With Us.

Unify Your Attention. Do Not Listen With Your Ears, But With Your Mind. Do Not Listen With Your Mind But With Your Essence.

To Learn Without Thinking Is Labour In Vain, To Think Without Learning Is Desolation.

How Great Is The Path Proper To The Sage! Like Overflowing Water, It Sends Forth And Nourishes All Things, And Rises Up To The Height Of Heaven. All-complete Is Its Greatness! It Embraces The Three Hundred Rules Of Ceremony, And The Three Thousand Rules Of Demeanor. It Waits For The Proper Man, And Then It Is Trodden. Hence It Is Said, 'only By Perfect Virtue Can The Perfect Path, In All Its Courses, Be Made A Fact.'
