Without Goodness one cannot enjoy enduring happiness

Love should start from people close to us, then be extended to other people, to strangers, and eventually to the world

I am not bothered by the fact that I am unknown. I am bothered when I do not know others.

When a person should be spoken with, and you don't speak with them, you lose them. When a person shouldn't be spoken with and you speak to them, you waste your breath. The wise do not lose people, nor do they waste their breath.

If what one has to say is not better than silence, then one should keep silent.

First there must be order and harmony within your own mind. Then this order will spread to your family, then to the community, and finally to your entire kingdom. Only then can you have peace and harmony.
