Reflecting on Myself Three Times Daily
A Junzi Must Be Dignified to Be Respected
In practicing the rites, harmony is most precious.
"Artful words and ingratiating looks are rarely accompanied by true virtue (巧言令色，鲜矣仁)"
Warmth, kindness, courtesy, frugality, humility
"When promises align with what is right, words can be fulfilled (信近于义，言可复也)"
In His Home Village Confucius Was Unassuming, in the Temple and Court He Spoke Clearly but Cautiously
The Six Words and Six Blind Spots
The Junzi Is Not a Vessel
Going Beyond Is as Bad as Falling Short
Few Words of Blame, Few Deeds of Regret
When Three Walk Together, There Must Be My Teacher
The Junzi Is Composed but Not Arrogant, the Petty Person Is Arrogant but Not Composed
Be Diligent in Action and Cautious in Speech
Learning Without Thinking Is Futile, Thinking Without Learning Is Perilous
"Quick-witted and fond of learning, and not ashamed to ask those beneath him (敏而好学，不耻下问)"
To Establish Oneself, One Must Help Others; To Achieve, One Must Enable Others
Refined in manner and substance, then a gentleman.
To Learn in Silence, Never Tiring of Learning or Teaching Others
Wealth and Rank Gained Through Unrighteousness Are Like Floating Clouds to Me
"Do not impose on others what you do not wish for yourself (己所不欲，勿施于人)"
Without Trust, a Nation Cannot Stand
"Small Impatience Ruins Great Plans"
Knowing What You Know and Knowing What You Don't Know
Teaching without discrimination
The Junzi Maintains Integrity Even in Poverty
