The famous sayings praising the wise are as follows:

1. A wise man seeks everything from himself, while a fool seeks everything from others.

2. If you ask: What is the most important talent in politics? Then the answer is: first, be bold, second, be bold, and third, be bold again. Although boldness is often the product of ignorance and arrogance, it can always confuse and influence many fools in the world. Even this kind of arrogant blind courage can sometimes scare some wise men when their will is not strong enough. Author: Bacon

3. The wise follow the rules, and those who encounter them act blindly.

4. Don’t be the first in everything, but settle for the second best. Shooting the first bird is a common warning to protect yourself. It is safest to mix among the crowd most of the time. You are prone to disaster first and last. It is the wisdom of a wise man to put more tempting food in the trap and let others serve as a guide. A wise man is good at taking advantage of fortune and never goes against the trend. He knows that a person will not always be lucky, nor will he always be unlucky. Hibernation plays a greater role in victory than rushing.

Hidden strength is the key to success or failure. A wise man pays more attention to actual results than false reputations, and never squanders luck for false reputations. Therefore, he agrees to be the two who is well-rounded in all directions, rather than the one who makes enemies everywhere. Being at the top is enviable, but at the same time you have to endure the loneliness of being at a high place. Once fortune changes, you may become a loner and face the dilemma of being surrounded by enemies from all sides.

To give to others is to accumulate wealth; to give one's place to others is to accumulate popularity. The only way to maintain a good reputation is to retreat and seek the next best thing. It is also a wise move to avoid disaster and avoid being jealous. So face the advantage.

5. Those who can restrain desires are strong, and those who can control desires are wise.

6. Walk the high road, put the people first, and benefit the world. It is derived from comprehensive quotations from three classics, all of which speak from the sages. When politicians first appear on the scene, they will have lofty ambitions and bold words. After the people became excited, they wanted to see how these concise and comprehensive strategies for governing the country could be implemented in practice. This depends on specific policies and means. The words of wise men are more abstract and profound, but they are easy to be interpreted arbitrarily. What the people feel most strongly is the distribution of real benefits. Author: Lu Yiming
