Confucius, nalects, IV.11 quotes
"While the gentleman cherishes benign rule, the small man cherishes his native land. While the gentleman cherishes a respect for the law, the small man cherishes generous treatment."
Our destiny rules over us, even when we are not yet aware of it it is the future that makes laws for us today.
The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends.
"While the gentleman cherishes benign rule, the small man cherishes his native land. While the gentleman cherishes a respect for the law, the small man cherishes generous treatment."
