“When you see someone worthy, try to match them in their virtue. When you see someone not worthy, search yourself for their faults.”
— Confucius, Analects, Book 4:17

When you see a superior man, then seek to equal him; when you see an inferior man, search yourself for his faults.
— Confucius

“The superior man has no worry and no fear. For if he looks within himself and sees that he has done right, why should he worry? Why should he fear?”
— “The Analects,” Confucius
