13、君子成人之美，不成人之惡。

　　The gentleman helps others to achieve their moral perfection but not their evil conduct.

　　14、君子獨立不慚于影，獨寢不愧于魂。

        16、老吾老以及人之老，幼吾幼以及人之幼。

　　Expend the respect of the aged in one’s family to that of other families; expend the love of the young ones in one’s family to that of other families.

　　17、禮尚往來。往而不來，非禮也；來而不往，亦非禮也。

　　21、千丈之堤，以螻蟻之穴潰；百尺之屋，以突隙之煙焚。

　　A long dike will collapse because of an ant-hole in it; a tall building will be burned down by a spark from a chimney’s chink.

        22、鍥而舍之，朽木不折，鍥而不舍，金石可鏤。

　　Carve but give up half way, even a decayed piece of wood will not break; carve without stop, even metal and stone can be engraved.

　　23、人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴陽缺，此事古難全。

　　People have sorrow and joy; they part and meet again. The moon dims or shines;　it waxes or wanes. Nothing is perfect, not even in the olden days.

　　24、人之于文學也，猶玉之于琢磨也。

　　Learning and culture are to a person what polished and grinding are to jade.
