See: the little plant ascending the tall tree Has climbed to the top. | | Not to be cheered by praise, not to be grieved by blame, but to know thoroughly ones own virtues or powers are the characteristics of an excellent man. | | If a wise man behaves prudently, how can he be overcome by his enemies? Even a single man, by right action, can overcome a host of foes. | | Even in decline, a virtuous man increases the beauty of his behavior. A burning stick, though turned to the ground, has its flame drawn upwards. | | Much talking is the cause of danger. Silence is the means of avoiding misfortune. The talkative parrot is shut up in a cage. Other birds, without speech, fly freely about. | | When many work together for a goal, Great things may be accomplished. It is said a lion cub was killed By a single colony of ants. | | It may be doubtful, at first, whether a person is an enemy or friend.
