"The superior man is slow in his..." - Quote by Confucius

“These are the four abuses: desire to succeed in order to make oneself famous; taking credit for the labors of others; refusal to correct one's errors despite advice; refusal to change one's ideas despite warnings.”

“The mirror reflects all objects without being sullied”

“He who crosses the ocean twice without washing is a dirty double crosser.”

“If a superior man abandon virtue, how can he fulfil the requirements of that name?”

“The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come.”

“The superior man is satisfied and composed; the mean man is always full of distress.”

“The constant recollection of death is the test of human conduct.”

“Respect for right conduct is felt by every body.”

“How great is the path proper to the Sage! Like overflowing water, it sends forth and nourishes all things, and rises up to the height of heaven. All-complete is its greatness! It embraces the three hundred rules of ceremony, and the three thousand rules of demeanor. It waits for the proper man, and then it is trodden. Hence it is said, 'Only by perfect virtue can the perfect path, in all its courses, be made a fact.'”
