"Have no friends not equal to yourself...." - Quote by Confucius

“Be sincere and true to your word, serious and careful in your actions; and you will get along even among barbarians, But if you are not sincere and untrustworthy in your speech, frivolous and careless in your actions, how will you get along even among your own neighbors? When stand, see these principles in front of you; in your carriage see them on the yoke. Then you may be sure to get along.”

“He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it.”

“A truly great man never puts away the simplicity of a child.”

“Your friends may love you in private but your enemies will hate you in public.”

“True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity, before it is entitled to the appellation.”

“When two friends part they should lock up each other's secrets and exchange keys. The truly noble mind has no resentments.”

“She lov'd me for the dangers I had pass'd, And I lov'd her that she did pity them”

“When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.”

“There is, hidden or flaunted, a sword between the sexes till an entire marriage reconciles them.”
