Let not a man do what his sense of right bids him not to do, nor desire what it forbids him to desire. This is sufficient. The skillful artist will not alter his measures for the sake of a stupid workman.

Mencius quotes
Friendship is one mind in two bodies.
Every duty is a charge, but the charge of oneself is the root of all others.
Evil exists to glorify the good. Evil is negative good. It is a relative term. Evil can be transmuted into good. What is evil to one at one time, becomes good at another time to somebody else.
Great is the man who has not lost his childlike heart.
It is not difficult to govern. All one has to do is not to offend the noble families.
Kindly words do not enter so deeply into men as a reputation for kindness.
Let not a man do what his sense of right bids him not to do, nor desire what it forbids him to desire. This is sufficient. The skillful artist will not alter his measures for the sake of a stupid workman.
Mankind fears an evil man but heaven does not.
The great man is he who does not lose his child-heart.
