7 upmarket sayings of the Chinese philosopher

A submission today from my Dad, thanks Dad :)

1. Employ the upright and put aside all the crooked; in this way, the crooked can be made to be upright.
2. Is humaneness a thing remote? I wish to be humane, and behold! humaneness is at hand.
3. With coarse rice to eat, with water to drink, and my bended arm for a pillow; I still have joy in the midst of these things. Riches and honours acquired by inhumanity are to me as a floating cloud.
4. Virtue is not left to stand alone. He who practices it will have neighbours.
5. The determined scholar and the man of virtue will not seek to live at the expense of humanity. They will even sacrifice their lives to preserve their humanity
6. Let the will be set on the path of duty. Let every attainment in what is good be firmly grasped. Let perfect virtue be accorded with. Let relaxation and enjoyment be found in the polite arts.
7. The object of the superior man is truth, not food. . . . The superior man is anxious lest he should not get truth; he is not anxious lest poverty should come upon him.
