The Journey With A 1000 Miles Begins

There Are Three Things Which The Superior Man Guards Against. In Youth ... Lust. When He Is Strong ... Quarrelsomeness. When He Is Old ... Covetousness.

Only One Who Bursts With Enthusiasm Do I Instruct; Only One Who Bubbles With Excitement Do I Enlighten. If I Hold Up One Corner And You Do Not Come Back To Me With The Other Three, I Do Not Continue The Lesson.

The Superior Man Will Watch Over Himself When He Is Alone. He Examines His Heart That There May Be Nothing Wrong There, And That He May Have No Cause Of Dissatisfaction With Himself.

To Be Fond Of Learning Is Near To Wisdom; To Practice With Vigor Is Near To Benevolence; And To Be Conscious Of Shame Is Near To Fortitude.

For One Word A Man Is Often Deemed To Be Wise, And For One Word He Is Often Deemed To Be Foolish. We Should Be Careful Indeed What We Say.
