Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes.

Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles.

Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.

Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.

Men's natures are alike, it is their habits that carry them far apart.

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do.

Study the past if you would define the future.

To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage.

When anger rises, think of the consequences.

Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart.

The superior man...does not set his mind either for anything, or against anything; what is right he will follow.

What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.

When you have faults, do not fear to abandon them.

With coarse rice to eat, with water to drink, and my bended arm for a pillow - I have still joy in the midst of these things. Riches and honors acquired by unrighteousness are to me as a floating cloud.

When you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it - this is knowledge.
