The following are the famous quotes for self-cultivation:
1. Those who have real talent will not be shy about their talents; those who are practical scholars will not boast about their learning; be honest and clean, have integrity; be diligent and thrifty. Breeze on both sleeves. When walking on the edge of a cliff, you must rein in your reins, and when you reach an official position, you must tie your heart; honesty should not speak of poverty, and diligence should not speak of hardship; being an official should put integrity first, and being in politics should be based on diligence. Be as calm as water, as upright as a rope; you can accumulate virtue in your words, and you can cultivate your moral integrity in your relationship with your wife.
2. Studying is the way of self-cultivation, and being honest is the virtue of being an official; a generous person will not make others rely on him; a shrewd person will not make others feel helpless; plant more lotus ponds to keep them clean, Fight corruption diligently and clean up the government. The one who has no intention is fair, and the one who has no self is enlightened. A thousand-foot embankment collapses due to the nests of huddled ants; a hundred-foot room is burned by smoke from the cracks; every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.
3. If you are careless and impetuous, you will accomplish nothing. A calm mind brings a thousand auspicious parallels; if you make mistakes without correcting them, you are said to have made mistakes; if you have true talent, you will not be shy about your talent; if you are a real scholar, you will not boast about your knowledge; be honest and clean, and have a healthy spirit; be diligent and thrifty, and have a breeze in your sleeves. When walking on the edge of a cliff, you must rein in your reins, and when you reach an official position, you must tie your heart; honesty should not speak of poverty, and diligence should not speak of hardship; being an official should put integrity first, and being in politics should be based on diligence.
4. Be as calm as water, as upright as a rope; you can accumulate virtue in your words, and you can also cultivate your character in your relationship with your wife; studying is the way to cultivate your character, and being honest is the virtue of an official; a generous person should not let others have anything. Rely on; A shrewd person will not make others homeless; plant more lotus ponds to purify themselves, and work diligently to fight against corruption and govern themselves to purify themselves. The one who has no intention is fair, and the one who has no self is enlightened. A thousand-foot embankment will collapse with the nests of curled ants; a hundred-foot room will be burned with smoke from the gap.
5. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world; if you are careless and impetuous, you will achieve nothing. With a calm mind, thousands of auspicious parallels gather; if you make mistakes without correcting them, you are called a mistake; if you do not cultivate your body, your virtue will not be established. If your virtue is not established, there will be very few people who can transform it into your family, and the worse will be in the world; the sea is broad and the sky is as wide as the fish leaping. Let the birds fly. Stupid birds fly first and enter the forest early; stupid people study hard and become talented early; don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you.
6. True humility can only be the product of thoughtful consideration of vanity. A virtuous person cultivates his body and mind, corrects his thoughts internally, and corrects his appearance externally; he estimates that he can do what a virtuous person says, and then he can ask others. To be eager to learn is close to knowledge, to practice is close to benevolence, and to be aware of shame is close to courage.
