“Silence is a true friend who never betrays.”

“To study and constantly, is this not a pleasure? To have friends come from far away places, is this not a joy? If people do not recognize your worth, but this does not worry you, are you not a true gentleman?”

“The Master said, “A true teacher is one who, keeping the past alive, is also able to understand the present.”(Analects 2.11)”

“The Master said, “A true gentleman is one who has set his heart upon the Way. A fellow who is ashamed merely of shabby clothing or modest meals is not even worth conversing with.”(Analects 4.9)”

“Never give a sword to a man who can't dance.”

“Virtue is never left to stand alone. He who has it will have neighbors.”

“If what one has to say is not better than silence, then one should keep silent.”
