子曰：“学而时习之，不亦悦乎。有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎。人不知而不愠，不亦君子乎。”
The Master said, "Is it not pleasant to learn with a constant perseverance and application? Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters? Is he not a man of complete virture, who feels no discomposure though men may take no note of him?"
曾子曰：“为人谋，而不忠乎？与朋友交，而不信乎？传不习乎？”

The Master said, "I will not be afficted at men’s not knowing me,I will be afflicted that I do not know men.”
子曰：“温故而知新，可以为师矣”
The Master said, "If a man keeps cherishing his old knowledge,so as continually to be acquiring the new, he may be a teacher of others.”
子曰：“见贤思齐焉，见不贤而内自省也。”
The Master said, "When we see men of worth,we should think of equaling them,when we see men of a contrary character,we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.”
子曰：“默而识之，学而不厌，诲人不倦”
The Master said, "The silent treasuring up of knowledge;Learning without satiety,and instructing others withou being wearied.”
