In Your Promises Cleave To What Is

Great As Heaven And Earth Are, Men Still Find Some Things In Them With Which To Be Dissatisfied. Thus It Is That, Were The Superior Man To Speak Of His Way In All Its Greatness, Nothing In The World Would Be Found Able To Embrace It, And Were He To Speak Of It In Its Minuteness, Nothing In The World Would Be Found Able To Split It.

If You Try To Do Too Much, You Will Not Achieve Anything.

There Is Only One Thing In Life Which Never Changes, And It Is Change.

The Superior Man Is Satisfied And Composed; The Mean Man Is Always Full Of Distress.

In Dealing With The Dead, If We Treat Them As If They Were Entirely Dead, That Would Show A Want Of Affection And Should Not Be Done; Or, If We Treat Them As If They Were Entirely Alive, That Would Show A Want Of Wisdom And Should Not Be Done.
