He who knows not, and knows not he knows not - he is a fool. Shun him. He who knows not, and knows he knows not - he is simple. Teach him. He who knows and knows not he knows - he is asleep. Waken him. He who knows and knows he knows - he is wise. Follow him. |

Four things come not back: The spoken word, The sped arrow, The past life, The neglected opportunity. |
A promise is a cloud; fulfillment is rain. |
The jealousy of a wife is the key to her divorce. |
The enmity of the wise, rather than the friendship of the fool. |
Give dinner to the drunken-but not supper to the tipsy. |
Anger with our friend, rather than constant friendship with our enemy. |
Singing without remuneration is like a dead body without perfumes. |
Every day man increases in new understanding. |
