The Superior Man Is Aware Of Righteousness,

Base Yourself In Loyalty And Trust. Don't Be Companion With Those Who Are Not Your Moral Equal. When You Make A Mistake, Don't Hesitate To Correct It.

The Man Of Wisdom Is Never Of Two Minds; The Man Of Benevolence Never Worries; The Man Of Courage Is Never Afraid.

The Master Said, The Case Is Like That Of Someone Raising A Mound. If He Stops Working, The Fact That It Perhaps Needed Only One More Basketful Makes No Difference; I Stay Where I Am. Whereas Even If He Has Not Got Beyond Leveling The Ground, But Is Still At Work, The Fact That He Has Only Tilted One Basketful Of Earth Makes No Difference. I Go To Help Him.

No Lake So Still But It Has Its Wave. No Circle So Perfect But That It Has Its Blur. I Would Change Things For You If I Could; As I Can't You Must Take Them As They Are.

The Superior Man Undergoes Three Changes. Looked At From A Distance, He Appears Stern; When Approached, He Is Mild; When He Is Heard To Speak, His Language Is Firm And Decided.
