More quotes by Confucius

Confucius
A hammer shatters glass but it also forges steel.
Confucius

Confucius
Be faithful and true of word let thy walk be plain and lowly: thou wilt get on, though in savage land. If thy words be not faithful and true, thy walk plain and lowly, wilt thou get on, though in thine own home? Standing, see these words ranged before thee driving, see them written upon the yoke. Then thou wilt get on.
