Great as heaven and earth are, men still find some things in them with which to be dissatisfied. Thus it is that, were the superior man to speak of his way in all its greatness, nothing in the world would be found able to embrace it, and were he to speak of it in its minuteness, nothing in the world would be found able to split it.

Confucius

The superior man is broadminded but not partisan; the inferior man is partisan but not broadminded.

Confucius

A superior man in dealing with the world is not for anything or against anything. He follows righteousness as the standard.
