Ignorance Is The Night Of

The Superior Man... Does Not Set His Mind Either For Or Against Anything, He Will Pursue Whatever Is Right. The Superior Man Thinks Of Virtue, The Common Man Of Comfort.

On Matters Beyond His Ken A Gentleman Speaks With Caution. If Names Are Not Right, Words Are Misused. When Words Are Misused, Affairs Go Wrong. When Affairs Go Wrong, Courtesy And Music Droop, Law And Justice Fail. And When Law And Justice Fail Them, A People Can Move Neither Hand Nor Foot. So A Gentleman Must Be Ready To Put Names In Speech, To Put Words Into Deeds. A Gentleman Is Nowise Careless Of Words.

While The Gentleman Cherishes Benign Rule, The Small Man Cherishes His Native Land. While The Gentleman Cherishes A Respect For The Law, The Small Man Cherishes Generous Treatment.

Heaven Begat Virtue In Me; What Can Man Do Unto Me?

I Will Not Be Concerned At Other Men's Not Knowing Me;i Will Be Concerned At My Own Want Of Ability.
