The Superior Man Is Satisfied And Composed;

Riches And Honor Are What Everyone Desires, But If They Can Be Gained Only By Doing Evil, They Must Not Be Held. Don't Worry About Not Being In Office, Worry About Qualifying Yourself For Office. Don't Worry That No One Knows You, But Seek To Be Worthy Of Being Known.

Look At The Means Which A Man Employs, Consider His Motives, Observe His Pleasures. A Man Simply Cannot Conceal Himself!

The Superior Man, Extensively Studying All Learning, And Keeping Himself Under The Restraint Of The Rules Of Propriety, May Thus Likewise Not Overstep What Is Right.

A Man Of Humanity Is One Who, In Seeking To Establish Himself, Finds A Foothold For Others And Who, In Desiring Attaining Himself, Helps Others To Attain.

In A District Of Ten Families, There Must Be Someone As Honorable And Sincere As I, But None As Fond Of Learning.
