From The Son Of Heaven

In Antiquity Men Studied For Their Own Sake; Nowadays Men Study For The Sake Of Impressing Others.

Big Head, Target For Enemy; Big Heart, Target For Friend.

The Superior Man Understands What Is Right; The Inferior Man Understands What Will Sell.

When Things Are Investigated, Then True Knowledge Is Achieved; When True Knowledge Is Achieved, Then The Will Becomes Sincere; When The Will Is Sincere, Then The Heart Is Set Right ; When The Heart Is Set Right, Then The Personal Life Is Cultivated; When The Personal Life Is Cultivated, Then The Family Life Is Regulated; When The Family Life Is Regulated, Then The National Life Is Orderly; And When The National Life Is Orderly, Then There Is Peace In This World.

There May Be Men Who Act Without Understanding Why. I Do Not. To Listen Much, Pick Out The Good And Follow It; To See Much And Ponder It: This Comes Next To Understanding.
