More quotes by Confucius
The man of humanity delights in mountains
Confucius
The highest kind of man is the one who does before talking and practices what he professes.
Confucius
If I am virtuous and worthy, for whom should I not maintain a proper concern?
Confucius
The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved.
Confucius
Being strong does not mean that you never fall down, but that whenever you fall, you get up again.
Confucius

Confucius
Is virtue a thing remote? I wish to be virtuous, and lo! Virtue is at hand.
Confucius
The master said, 'Quietly to store up knowledge in my mind, to learn without flagging, to teach without growing weary, these present me with no difficulties.'
Confucius
At seventy, I could follow the dictates of my own heart for what I desired no longer overstepped the boundaries of right.
Confucius
He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it.
Confucius
Virtue is not solitary it is bound to have neighbors

The strongest memory is not as strong as the weakest ink.
Confucius
