"The superior man is distressed by his..." - Quote by Confucius

“One joy dispels a hundred cares.”

“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.”

“Balance is the perfect state of still water. Let that be our model. It remains quiet within and is not disturbed on the surface.”

“We're all just a bunch of sinners, but we do the best we can.”

“Presumption must be quenched even more than a fire.”

“So many things--nay every real thing--is good if only it will be humble and ordinate.”

“If you are not taking responsibility for your state of consciousness, you are not taking responsibility for life.”

“Instead of always asking yourself how to clear up your mental fog, learn to ask: "Can confusion know anything about clarity?"”

“I know that living with me was not a bowl of cherries.”
