Analects 1-3

In these chapters I honestly found a lot less compared to other chapters. "A clever tounge and fine appearance are rarely signs of Goodness." (1.3) I think this line is partly true. I personally a gree that a clever tounge is more commonly used for bad than for good, sharp remarks are those that come from such a tounge. But on the other hand, I believe having pride in one's appearance is no sin, as long as it doesn't go to the point of becoming vain and conceded.
