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。
