You Judge Yourself By What You Think

Earnest In Practicing The Ordinary Virtues, And Careful In Speaking About Them, If, In His Practice, He Has Anything Defective, The Superior Man Dares Not But Exert Himself; And If, In His Words, He Has Any Excess, He Dares Not Allow Himself Such License.

Be Strict With Yourself But Least Reproachful Of Others And Complaint Is Kept Afar.

Clever Talk And Domineering Manner Have Little To With Being A Man At His Best.

The Superior Man Accords With The Course Of The Mean. Though He May Be All Unknown, Unregarded By The World, He Feels No Regret - It Is Only The Sage Who Is Able For This.

Because The Newer Methods Of Treatment Are Good, It Does Not Follow That The Old Ones Were Bad: For If Our Honorable And Worshipful Ancestors Had Not Recovered From Their Ailments, You And I Would Not Be Here Today.
