The Man Who Is Master Of Himself

A Country Of A Thousand War-chariots Cannot Be Administered Unless The Ruler Attends Strictly To Business, Punctually Observes His Promises, Is Economical In Expenditure, Loves The People, And Uses The Labor Of The Peasantry Only At The Proper Times Of Year.

When Abroad, Behaveto Everyone As If Interviewing An Honored Guest; In Directing The People, Act As If You Were Assisting At A Great Sacrafice; Do Not Do To Others As You Would Not Like Done To Yourself: So There Will Be No Murmuring Against You In The Country, And None In The Family; Your Public Life Will Arouse No Ill-will Nor Your Private Life Any Resentment.

The Strongest Memory Is Not As Strong As The Weakest Ink.

Hold Faithfulness And Sincerity As First Principles.

He Who Requires Much From Himself And Little From Others, Will Keep Himself From Being The Object Of Resentment.
