First Line: No need to attack the faults of others

Alternate Author Name(s): Kanzan; Hanshan; Han-shan
Subject(s): Chinese Literature; Virtue


No need to attack the faults of others
no need to flaunt your own virtues
act when you're acknowledged
retire when you're ignored
rich rewards mean great trials
deep words meet superficial minds
think about what you hear
children must see for themselves
