Three sayings from this handout that I believe our president of the United States should follow are:
1. The Master said, "The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions."
2. The Master said, "The mind of the superior man is conversant with virtue; the mind of the base man is conversant with gain."
3. The Master said, "Riches and honors are what men desire. If they cannot be obtained in a proper way, they should not be held. Poverty and baseness are what men dislike. If they cannot be avoided in the proper way, they should not be avoided.. The superior man does not, even for the space of a single meal, act contrary to virtue. In moments of haste, he cleaves to it. In seasons of danger, he cleaves to it."
These three quotes, I believe are good ideas to live by especially as a leader of one of the most powerful countries in the world. The basis of all of these quotes explain that the better man will not base his actions off of the money he will receive or the recognition he'll get.
