Confucian Analects Book VIII (孔夫子論語: 泰伯第八)

Author: Confucius (孔夫子); translated by James Legge

The Master said, Without good form attentions grow into fussiness, heed becomes fearfulness, daring becomes unruliness, frankness becomes rudeness. When gentlemen are true to kinsfolk, love will thrive among the people; if they do not forsake old friends, the people will not steal.

Laozi's Dao De Jing 46-50 (老子道德經 46-50)

Author: Laozi (老子); translated by James Legge

To those who are good (to me), I am good; and to those who are not good (to me), I am also good;—and thus (all) get to be good. To those who are sincere (with me), I am sincere; and to those who are not sincere (with me), I am also sincere;—and thus (all) get to be sincere.

第四十六章
天下有道,卻走馬以糞。天下無道,戎馬生于郊。禍莫大于不知足﹔咎莫 大于欲得。故知足之足,常足矣。

Confucian Analects Book VII Part 2 (孔夫子論語: 述而第七 第二部份)

Author: Confucius (孔夫子); translated by James Legge

The Master said, How dare I lay claim to holiness or love? A man of endless craving, who never tires of teaching, I might be called, but that is all.

21. 子曰:「三人行,必有我師焉:擇其善者而從之,其不善者而改之。」

The Master said, Walking three together I am sure of teachers. I pick out the good and follow it; I see the bad and shun it.
