"The Master said, If out of the..." - Quote by Confucius

“To know, is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge. When you say something, say what you know. When you don't know something, say you don't know. That is knowledge.”

“One joy dispels a hundred cares.”

“Study as if you have not reached your goal - hold it as if you were afraid of losing what you have.”

“I must conclude that Conscience, if that be the name of it, was not given us for no purpose, or for a hindrance. However flattering order and expediency may look, it is but the repose of a lethargy, and we will choose rather to be awake, though it be stormy, and maintain ourselves on this earth, and in this life, as we may, without signing our death-warrant. Let us see if we cannot stay here, where He has put us, on his own conditions. Does not his law reach as far as his light? The expedients of the nations clash with one another: only the absolutely right is expedient for all.”

“He who sees cruelty and does nothing about it is himself cruel.”

“Let your secret sympathies and your compassion be always with the under dog in the fight -- this is magnanimity; but bet on the other one -- this is business.”

“As chaste as is the bud ere it be blown.”

“The greater our innocence, the greater our strength and the swifter our victory”

“Hear no evil. See no evil. Speak no evil.”
