These are appropriate as well....maybe he will leave time to read after all...

Our appearance, our words, our actions are never greater than ourselves.
For the soul is our house, our eyes its windows, and our words its messengers.

Correct Use of Language
Sincerity and trustworthiness were important to Confucius, because words were often worthless if not backed up by equivalent deeds. Language has the peculiar attribute of being able to be true or false to actual situations, past or future actions. In good human relations Confucius believed that honesty was essential. "I do not know how a man without truthfulness is to get along. How can a wagon be made to go if it has no yoke-bar, or a carriage if it has collarbar?"51 Confucius tells us that he learned that some men do not do what they say; therefore wisdom demands that he not only listen to people's words but watch their actions as well. Tsai Yu used to sleep during the day. Not able to reform him, the master decided to make it an object lesson, saying, "Rotten wood cannot be carved, nor a wall of dried dung be trowelled. What use is there in my scolding him anymore? There was a time when I merely listened attentively to what people said, and took for granted that they would carry out their words. Now I am obliged not only to give ear to what they say, but also to keep an eye on what they do. It was my dealings with Tsai Yu that brought about the change."52
