“If names be not correct, language is not in accordance with the truth of things. If language be not in accordance with the truth of things, affairs cannot be carried on to success. When affairs cannot be carried on to success, proprieties and music do not flourish.”

“There are trivial truths and there are great truths. The opposite of a trivial truth is plainly false. The opposite of a great truth is also true.”

“You can recognize a small truth because its opposite is a falsehood. The opposite of a great truth is another truth.”

“How much truth does a spirit endure, how much truth does it dare?”
