The Vices Come As Passengers,

The Master Said, At Fifteen I Set My Heart Upon Learning. At Thirty, I Had Planted My Feet Firm Upon The Ground. At Forty, I No Longer Suffered From Perplexities. At Fifty, I Knew What Were The Biddings Of Heaven. At Sixty, I Heard Them With Docile Ear. At Seventy, I Could Follow The Dictates Of My Own Heart; For What I Desired No Longer Overstepped The Boundaries Of Righ.

He Who Learns But Does Not Think, Is Lost! He Who Thinks But Does Not Learn Is In Great Danger... Men Of Superior Mind Busy Themselves First Getting At The Root Of Things; When They Succeed, The Right Course Is Open To Them.

When The Perfect Order Prevails, The World Is Like A Home Shared By All. Leaders Are Capable And Virtuous. Everyone Loves And Respects Their Own Parents And Children As Well As The Parents And Children Of Others. The Old Are Cared For, Adults Have Jobs, Children Are Nourished And Educated. There Is A Means Of Support For All Those Who Are Disabled Or Find Themselves Alone In The World. Everyone Has An Appropriate Role To Play In The Family And Society. Devotion To Public Duty Leaves No Place For Idleness. Scheming For Ill Gain Is Unknown. Sharing Displaces Selfishness And Materialism.

I Know How The Birds Fly, How The Fishes Swim, How Animals Run. But There Is The Dragon. I Cannot Tell How It Mounts On The Winds Through The Clouds And Flies Through Heaven. Today I Have Seen The Dragon.

Is Any One Able For One Day To Apply His Strength To Virtue? I Have Not Seen The Case In Which His Strength Would Be Sufficient.
