Mencius, Ancient Wisdom of China
The wise questions himself, the fool
others.
When the prince goes to school, he is like other boys.
The highest official is subject to the law.
Who so is too subservient to masters will reap
shame.
A good subject cannot serve two masters; lay
not
two saddles on one horse.
A minister who fears death will not be faithful.
Judge not by appearance; the sea cannot be
scooped up
in a tumbler.
Think reasonably, be strong for virtue, lean
on humanity, and in all things be content
