The Superior Man, Extensively Studying All Learning,

He Who Flatters A Man Is His Enemy. He Who Tells Him Of His Faults Is His Maker.

There Are Three Friendships Which Are Advantageous, And Three Which Are Injurious. Friendship With The Upright; Friendship With The Sincere; And Friendship With The Man Of Much Observation: These Are Advantageous. Friendship With The Man Of Specious Airs; Friendship With The Insinuatingly Soft; And Friendship With The Glib-tongued: These Are Injurious.

People With Virtue Must Speak Out; People Who Speak Are Not All Virtuous.

To Be In One's Own Heart In Kindly Sympathy With All Things; This Is The Nature Of Righteousness

A Man Who Does Not Think And Plan Long Ahead Will Find Trouble Right At His Door.
