If A Man Remembers What Is Right

The Archer Who Misses His Mark Does Not Blame The Target. He Stops, Corrects Himself And Shoots Again.

Learn As Though You Would Never Be Able To Master It; Hold It As Though You Would Be In Fear Of Losing It.

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.

I Do Not Want A Friend Who Smiles When I Smile, Who Weeps When I Weep; For My Shadow In The Pool Can Do Better Than That.

The Master Said, “a True Gentleman Is One Who Has Set His Heart Upon The Way. A Fellow Who Is Ashamed Merely Of Shabby Clothing Or Modest Meals Is Not Even Worth Conversing With.” (analects 4.9)
