More quotes by Confucius
The superior man sets his person at rest before he moves he composes his mind before he speaks.
Confucius

Confucius
If a man sets his heart on benevolence he will be free from evil.

Confucius

Confucius
Charity, like the sun, brightens every object on which it shines.
Confucius
In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of.
Confucius

Confucius
I know how the birds fly, how the fishes swim, how animals run. But there is the Dragon. I cannot tell how it mounts on the winds through the clouds and flies through heaven. Today I have seen the Dragon.
Confucius
To find the Tao, there is nowhere you need to search. If it is not inside you, it is not the Tao.

Confucius
Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles.
Confucius
The way of Heaven and Earth may be completely declared in one sentence: They are without any doubleness, and so they produce things in a manner that is unfathomable.
Confucius
The contrived language and the flattering attitude rarely come with the virtue.
Confucius
Sincerity becomes apparent. From being apparent, it becomes manifest. From being manifest, it becomes brilliant. Brilliant, it affects others. Affecting others, they are changed by it. Changed by it, they are transformed. It is only he who is possessed of the most complete sincerity that can exist under heaven, who can transform.
Confucius
Be loyal to yourself, charitable to neighbours, nothing more.
Confucius
A man may not transgress the bounds of major morals, but may make errors in minor morals.
Confucius
When you have become one with the Great Universal, you will have no partiality, and when you are part of the process of transformation, you will have no rigidity.
Confucius
