Delicious as my the food be, one never knowsits taste except eating it; perfect as may the course be, one never knows its goodness except learning it. Thus it is after learning that one knows his deficiency, and after teaching one discovers his confusion.

That’s why we say teaching and learning encourage each other.虽有家肴，弗食不知其旨也；虽有至道，弗学不知其善也；是故学然后知不足，教然后知困。知不足，然后能自反也；知困，然后能自强也。故曰教学相长也。

Listening without attention is not hearing; then falsehood follows. Lookng without examination is not seeing; then errors follow. Considering without intention is not knowing; then confusion follows.听不审不聪，不审不聪则谬；视不察不明，不察不明则过；虑不得不知，不得不知则昏。 Words are to be judged from their function; and deeds are to be observed from their effects.听其言必责其用，观其行必求其功。

All thing creatures grow together without harming one another; ways run parallel without interfering with one another. 万物并育而不相害，道并行而不相悖。

为师也。

Don’t do what should not be done; don’t desire what should not be desired.无为其所不为，无欲其所不欲。

Every day I examine myself time and again:have I been unfaithful in giving counsels to others? Have I been insincere in getting along with my friends? Have I failed to review what I have been taught?.吾日三省吾身；为人谋而不忠乎？与朋友交而不信乎？传而不信乎？{out的英语谚语}.

Things investigated, genuine knowledge acquired; genuine knowledge acquired, thoughts purified; thughts purified, hearts rectified; hearts rectified, personalities cultivated; personalities cultivated, familyies regulaed; famiies regulated, the states well governed; the states well governed, the whole world will be in peace and tranquility. 物格而后知至，知至而后意诚；意诚而后心正，心正而后身修；身修而后家齐，家齐而后治国，国治而后天下平。

He who puts righeousness before profits is respectable; he who puts profits before righteousness is discreditable.先义而后利者荣，先利而后义者辱。

It is unbearable to meet as well as to depart. 相见时难别亦难。

Distance cannot separate true friends who feel so close even when they are thousands of miles apart.相知无远近，万里尚为临。

A mean man thinks that small virtues are useless and does not practice them, and small vices are harmless and does not abandon them. Hence his vice accumulate till they cannot be covered, and his guilt becomes great till it can not be freed from.小人以小善为无益而弗为也，以小恶为无伤而弗去也，故恶积而不可掩，罪大而不可解。

True words need not be fine-sounding; the good man does not prove be argument. 信言不美，善者不辩。

There is never an end to learning. The dye extracted from the indigo is bluer than the plant; so is the ice clouder than the water. By broadly learning and constantly examining himself every day, the gentleman sharpens his awareness and makes fewer mistakes.学不可以已。青取之于蓝；冰，水为之，而寒于水。君子博学而日参省乎己，则知明而行过矣。 Learning without thinking leads to confusion; thinking without learning ends in danger.学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。

Never be contented with your study. Never be impatient with your teaching.学而不厌，诲人不倦。

Learning is like rowing upstream: not to advance is to drop back.学如逆水行舟，不进则退。

It is good speech that talks near but signifies far; it is a good way that operates restrictedly but applies widely.言近而指远者，善言也；守约而施博者，善道也。
