"Charity is in the heart of man, and righteousness in the path of men. Pity the man who has lost his path and does not follow it and who has lost his heart and does not know how to recover it.

The principle of self-cultivation consists in nothing but trying to look for the lost heart."
by Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)
"A Great man is he who does not lose his childlike heart."
by Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)
"There is no greater delight than to be conscious of sincerity on self-examination."
by Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)
