Study As If You Have Not Reached

A Fool Despises Good Counsel, But A Wise Man Takes It To Heart.

The Virtuous Will Be Sure To Speak Uprightly; But Those Whose Speech Is Upright May Not Be Virtuous.

If The People Are Governed By Laws And Punishment Is Used To Maintain Order, They Will Try To Avoid The Punishment But Have No Sense Of Shame. If They Are Governed By Virtue And Rules Of Propriety Are Used To Maintain Order, They Will Have A Sense Of Shame And Will Become Good As Well.

Let Every Man Consider Virtue As What Devolves On Himself. He May Not Yield The Performance Of It Even To His Teacher.

It Is Not The Failure Of Others To Appreciate Your Abilities That Should Trouble You, But Rather Your Failure To Appreciate Theirs.
