Inspirational quotes¶

• “The philosopher Yu said: ‘In the usages of decorum it is naturalness that is of value. In the regulations of the ancient kings this was the admirable feature, both small and great deriving therefrom. But there is a naturalness that is not permissible; for to know to be natural, and yet to be so beyond the restraints of decorum is also not permissible’” (Analects of Confucius, I.XII.1-2)
