To Be In One's Own Heart In

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

Respect The Gods, But Have As Little To Do With Them As Possible.

Rotten Wood Cannot Be Carved.

Ability Will Never Catch Up With The Demand For It.

The Requisites Of Government Are That There Be Sufficiency Of Food, Sufficiency Of Military Equipment, And The Confidence Of The People In Their Ruler.
