The highest form of human intelligence is to observe yourself without judgment.
The superior man does not embark upon any affair until he has carefully planned the start.
The faults of a superior person are like the sun and moon. They have their faults, and everyone sees them; they change and everyone looks up to them.
Lighten up on yourself. No one is perfect. Gently accept your humanness.
When it comes to human dignity, we cannot make compromises.
As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves.
If there is to be a human future, we must bring ourselves into balanced relationship with one another and the Earth. This requires building economies with the heart.
