If It Is Not Right Do Not Do It If It Is Not True

If you make a mistake and do not correct it, this is called a mistake.

To be wronged is nothing, unless you continue to remember it.

Move not unless you see an advantage; use not your troops unless there is something to be gained; fight not unless the position is critical.

If anyone tells you that a certain person speaks ill of you, do not make excuses about what is said of you but answer, 'He was ignorant of my other faults, else he would have not mentioned these alone.'

If evil be spoken of you and it be true, correct yourself, if it be a lie, laugh at it.

Do not do to others what angers you if done to you by others.
