The words of Confucius:
Reviewing the old as a means of realizing the new - such a person can be considered a teacher.
Zigong asked about exemplary persons. The Master replied: "They first accomplish what they are going to say, and only then say it."
Learning without due reflection leads to perplexity; reflection without learning leads to perilous circumstances.
To become accomplished in heterodox doctrine will bring nothing but harm.
Zilu, shall I teach you what wisdom means? To know what you know and know what you do not know - this then is wisdom.
