Zhang Zhao quotes

What is a good man? Simply one whose life is useful to the world. And a bad man is simply one whose life is harmful to others. There are, however, those who are harmful and yet enjoy a good reputation, and who manage to profit by a show of usefulness. These are the worst of all.

And I am two-and-twenty And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true.

The virtue of the good man is necessarily the same as the virtue of the citizen of the perfect state.

Perils as well as privileges attend the higher Christian life. The nearer we come to God, the thicker the hosts of darkness in heavenly places. Aggressive Christianity is the world's greatest need.
