“Boasting of wealth and virtue brings your demise.”

“When wealth and honours lead to arrogancy, this brings its evil on itself.”

“from self-boasting, and therefore his merit is acknowledged;”

“Accomplish but do not boast, accomplish without show, accomplish without arrogance, accomplish without grabbing, accomplish without forcing.”

“If you show yourself, you will not be seen. If you affirm yourself, you will not shine. If you boast, you will have no merit. If you promote yourself, you will have no success.”

“To realize that you do not understand is a virtue; not to realize that you do not understand is a defect.”

“Respond to anger with virtue. Deal with difficulties while they are still easy. Handle the great while it is still small.”
