The Superior Man, Even When He Is

In A State, Pecuniary Gain Is Not To Be Considered To Be Prosperity, But Its Prosperity Will Be Found In Righteousness.

If Language Is Not Correct, Then What Is Said Is Not What Is Meant; If What Is Said Is Not What Is Meant, Then What Must Be Done Remains Undone; If This Remains Undone, Morals And Art Will Deteriorate; If Justice Goes Astray, The People Will Stand About In Helpless Confusion. Hence There Must Be No Arbitrariness In What Is Said. This Matters Above Everything.

An Inch Of Time On The Sundial Is Worth More Than A Foot Of Jade.

The Superior Man Is Aware Of Righteousness, The Inferior Man Is Aware Of Advantage.

The Superior Man Is Easy To Serve, But Difficult To Please ... The Inferior Man Is Difficult To Serve, But Easy To Please.
