The classic quotations of Wang Yangming's mind are as follows:

1. The foundation of all good diggers of the bridge of the humble hall, and the leader of all evils of the proud.

Humility is the foundation of all good deeds, and pride is the root of all kinds of evil. Because arrogance and self-sufficiency can make a person arrogant, lost in the present moment and no longer progress.

2. Our generation works hard, only seeking to decrease day by day, not to increase day by day. To reduce a point of human desire is to regain a point of heavenly reason, how brisk and free, how simple! Eliminate oranges.

A person who can grasp the importance of life is a person who has achieved neutrality, and those who have achieved neutrality must be sincere, so as to determine the foundation of the world.

Good thoughts gerrise in the heart, and when you perceive it, you expand it. Evil thoughts sprout in the heart, and when you perceive it, you stop it. Knowing, expanding, and containing, is the aspiration, the ability to perceive and perceive given by God! This is the only thing that a saint possesses, and a person who learns should only have this to keep.

Wang Yangming generally refers to Wang Shouren. Wang Shouren's study is based on the "heart" and the hand, and he takes the "heart" as the ontology of the universe, and puts forward the proposition that "the heart is reason", asserting that "there is nothing outside the heart, nothing outside the heart, and no reason outside the heart". He proposed the theory of "unity of knowledge and action", and the post-dictator "to conscience", believing that "conscience" is "heavenly principle", emphasizing the understanding of heavenly principle from the heart.
