"Only when someone refuses to do certain..." - Quote by Mencius

“When I say that all men have the mind which cannot bear to see the suffering of others, my meaning is illustrated this way: when two men suddenly see a child about to fall into a well, they all have a feeling of alarm and distress, not to gain friendship with the child's parents, nor to seek the praise of their neighbors and friends. From such a case, we see that a man without the feeling of commiseration is not a man. The feeling of commiseration is the beginning of humanity.”

“So I like life and I like righteousness; if I cannot keep the two together, I will let life go and choose righteousness.”

“In abundance prepare for scarcity.”

“Discipline is what you use when you don't want to do something, when you have to force yourself.”

“The biggest thing I have to keep in mind is balance. I have certain times and days that I dedicate to certain responsibilities. It is very important to not become unbalanced in an area, spending too much time in one area and not another.”

“It is harder to fight pleasure than to fight emotion.”

“Although there are weapons for tens and hundreds of soldiers, they will not be used.”

“Only when a man will not do some things is he capable of doing great things.”

“In caring for others and serving heaven,There is nothing like using restraint.”
