In order to learn, there is no greater importance than respecting the teacher.

It is better to seek a teacher than to learn.

The sage is the teacher of impermanence.

When three people walk together, they must have a teacher. Choose the good ones and follow them, and choose the bad ones and change them.

Learning is as valuable as teachers as it is valuable as friends.

The spring silkworms will not run out until they die, and the wax torch will not dry until it turns to ashes.

Scholars must seek teachers, and they must be cautious in following them.

That’s why there is neither high nor low, neither long nor short. Where the Tao exists, the teacher exists.
