The gentleman is ashamed of his words and deeds. From Confucius's Analects and Constitutional Questions

Note: It is shameful for a gentleman to think that what he says is more than what he actually is.

The word gentleman is often associated with noble realms and sentiments, while the word villain is often compared to it, which is often reflected in different value orientations, especially different motives between public and private.

A person's words, deeds, and temperament often reflect a person's inner cultivation, and Confucius also described the difference between a gentleman and a villain in these aspects.

Confucius believed that it is shameful to say and deed, and it is a virtue to be consistent with words and deeds. This is also Confucius's principle of life, so he suggested that "a gentleman wants to be quick in words and quick in action", that is, a gentleman should be cautious in his words and quick in his actions. These two sentences also tell us that actions speak louder than words, and Confucius hates people who only say but do not do, or who speak in words and rhetoric, but cannot act or drag mud and water in action.

Confucius especially denounced those who were full of rhetoric and put on a kind face, and he believed that such people were rarely benevolent and virtuous. Indeed, it is a terrible deception to clothe oneself in a beautiful costume of hypocrisy by words to conceal the resentment and hatred that lies deep in one's heart.

As the saying goes, "I'd rather be an ant's leg than a sparrow's mouth", ants and sparrows are both small lives, a hard-working, united struggle, and constantly looking for their own living space. A person who chatters non-stop every day, is opportunistic, and will not do things in a down-to-earth manner.

From the perspective of temperament, "the gentleman is proud but not arrogant, and the villain is arrogant but not arrogant." That is to say, "the gentleman is calm and not proud, and the villain is proud but not calm." A gentleman has great ambition and determination, is calm and relaxed, has no arrogance, and has an inner backbone.

As soon as the villain is ambitious or satisfied, he shows off himself, is domineering, and even attacks everywhere, he lacks precipitation and self-cultivation, and lacks self-confidence, so as to attract the attention of others, so it is difficult to achieve peace and openness from the inside out.

Confucius. This quote is from the Analects of Confucius.

Ouyang Xiu of the Song Dynasty "Book of Advice with Gao Si": Use cleverness to cover up your mistakes, this is the scum of gentlemen.

And if you use cleverness to cover up your mistakes, you will become the enemy of a gentleman.
