Bird In Hand Makes It Harder To

Rotten Wood Cannot Be Carved.

The Superior Man Cannot Be Known In Little Matters, But He May Be Entrusted With Great Concerns. The Small Man May Not Be Entrusted With Great Concerns, But He May Be Known In Little Matters.

What The Superior Man Seeks Is In Himself; What The Small Man Seeks Is In Others.

Think No Vice So Small That You May Commit It, And No Virtue So Small That You May Over Look It.

The Small Man Thinks That Small Acts Of Goodness Are Of No Benefit, And Does Not Do Them; And That Small Deeds Of Evil Do No Harm, And Does Not Refrain From Them. Hence, His Wickedness Becomes So Great That It Cannot Be Concealed, And His Guilt So Great That It Cannot Be Pardoned.
