[Quote No.15313] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Chin Na, Chin-Na, Qin Na] Martial Morality:- In martial arts, it is well known that a student's success is not determined by her external appearance, nor by how strong or weak she is, but rather by the student's way of thinking and her morality. Chinese martial artists have a saying:'A student will spend three years looking for a good teacher, and a teacher will test the student for three years.' Good martial arts teachers do not teach only martial techniques, they also teach a way of life. In Chinese, martial morality is called 'Wude'. Teachers have long considered 'Wude' to be the most important criterion for students, and have made it the most important part of traditional martial arts training. There are two aspects of 'Wude'; morality of deed, and morality of mind. Morality of deed includes Humility, Respect, Righteousness, Trust and Loyalty. Morality of mind includes Will, Endurance, Perseverance, Patience and Courage. Of the two, morality of deed is more important as it concerns interaction with other people. Morality of mind is for self-cultivation. It allows wisdom to regulate emotion. Developing morality of mind is the key to martial arts training and will allow a martial artist to achieve the highest levels." - Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming

"Excessive distrust of others is not less hurtful than its opposite.[...therefore simply take sensible precautions with all, explaining it is not personal but rather just good practice so as to guard against tempting the few who are untrustworthy, whom none can perceive from surface appearances. Those with experience of the world and no evil intentions will not be offended...so beware of those that are.] " - Marquis de Vauvenargues

[Quote No.15811] Need Area: Friends > General
"I think the Authors of that notable instrument (the Declaration Of Independence) intended to include all men, but they did not intend to declare all men equal in all respects. They did not mean to say all men were equal in color, size, intellect, moral development, or social society. They defined with tolerable distinctness in what they did consider all men created equal - equal with certain unalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." - Abraham Lincoln

But they are mistaken if they think men are equal in their station and employment, since they are not so by their talents." - Francois Marie de Voltaire
