From Jin Ying's Motto Lian Bi in Qing Dynasty.
A gentleman is cautious and independent because he doesn't deceive himself at heart, others outside and heaven in the world.
Don't deceive yourself. First of all, I didn't do it. I always make excuses and reasons for my laziness and disinterest. Even if it is sometimes a white lie, it is deceiving others.
