If Either Wealth Or Poverty Are Come

A Gentleman Does Not Promote A Man On Account Of What He Says; Nor Does He Reject Sayings, Because The Speaker Is What He Is.

Sincerity Becomes Apparent. From Being Apparent, It Becomes Manifest. From Being Manifest, It Becomes Brilliant. Brilliant, It Affects Others. Affecting Others, They Are Changed By It. Changed By It, They Are Transformed. It Is Only He Who Is Possessed Of The Most Complete Sincerity That Can Exist Under Heaven, Who Can Transform.

One Who Is By Nature Daring And Is Suffering From Poverty Will Not Long Be Law-abiding. Indeed, Any Men, Save Those That Are Truly Good, If Their Sufferings Are Very Great, Will Be Likely To Rebel.

Let A Ruler Base His Government Upon Virtuous Principles, And He Will Be Like The Pole-star, Which Remains Steadfast In Its Place, While All The Host Of Stars Turn Towards It

Look For An Occupation That You Like, And You Will Not Need To Labor For A Single Day In Your Life.
