Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.
From Confucius
Instead of being concerned that you have no office, be concerned to think how you may fit yourself for office. Instead of being concerned that you are not known, seek to be worthy of being known.
The cautious seldom err.
Look at the means which a man employs, consider his motives, observe his pleasures. A man simply cannot conceal himself!
They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.
The expectations of life depend upon diligence; the mechanic that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools.
To rule a country of a thousand chariots, there must be reverent attention to business, and sincerity; economy in expenditure, and love for men; and the employment of the people at the proper seasons.
Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.
