Confucius
QuotationsHold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles.
When you have faults, do not fear to abandon them.
Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous.
When we see men of worth, we should think of equaling them; when we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.
Love makes a spot beautiful: who chooses not to dwell in love, has he got wisdom?
A heart set on love will do no wrong.
Gentlemen cherish worth; the vulgar cherish dirt. Gentlemen trust in justice; the vulgar trust in favor.
The chase of gain is rich in hate.
Sorrow not at being unknown, but seek to be worthy of note.
A gentleman considers what is right; the vulgar consider what will pay.
A father's and a mother's age must be borne in mind; with joy on the one hand, fear on the other.
A gentleman wishes to be slow to speak and quick to act.
Good is no hermit. It has ever neighbors.
There may be men who act without understanding why. I do not. To listen much, pick out the good and follow it; to see much and ponder it: this comes next to understanding.
Waste begets self-will; thrift begets meanness: but better be mean than self-willed.
A gentleman is calm and spacious: the vulgar are always fretting.
