说苑/君子之言寡而實，小人之言多而虛。

君子之言寡而實，小人之言多而虛。

Eric Henry

The words of a man of quality are few but full of content; a petty man’s words are many but empty.

君子之學也，入於耳，藏於心，行之以身。

Eric Henry

A man of quality pursues his studies in such a way that what enters his ears is stored in his heart and appears in his actions.

君子之治也，始於不足見，終於不可及也。

Eric Henry

A man of quality’s conduct of affairs is such that, proceeding from things too small to be easily observable, he ends in doing things that others cannot achieve.

君子慮福弗及，慮禍百之。

Eric Henry

A man of quality often lacks leisure to consider blessings, since he worries about possible disasters a hundred times more frequently.
