More quotes by Confucius
Labor, but slight not meditation meditate, but slight not labor.
Confucius
If I were travelling with two partners, one virtuous and one dishonest, both would be useful as teachers. I would perceive what's good of the first one and I would imitate him whereas I would try to correct in me the defects I may see in the second one.
Confucius
Do not use a cannon to kill a mosquito.
Confucius
The sun and moon shine on all without partiality.
Confucius
We should worship as though the deity were present.
Confucius
Exemplary people concern themselves with virtue, small people concern themselves with territory. The ruling class thinks of punishment, the lower classes hope for benevolence.
Confucius
The way of the superior man may be compared to what takes place in traveling, when to go to a distance we must first traverse the space that is near, and in ascending a height, when we must begin from the lower ground.
Confucius
The person of benevolence never worries.
Confucius
Learn as though you would never be able to master it hold it as though you would be in fear of losing it.
Confucius
Between friends, frequent reproofs make the friendship distant.
Confucius
When you locate good in yourself, approve of it with determination. When you locate evil in yourself, despise it as something detestable.
Confucius
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.
Confucius
It is goodness that gives to a neighborhood its beauty. One who is free to choose, yet does not prefer to dwell among the good - how can he be accorded the name of wise?
Confucius
Not too isolated, not too many relationships, the middle, that's wisdom.
Confucius
Conscience is the inner voice which warns us that someone might be looking. Hear and you forget, see and you remember, do and you understand.
Confucius
Coarse rice to eat, water to drink, my bended arm for a pillow - therein is happiness. Wealth and rank attained through immoral means are nothing but drifting clouds.
Confucius
A lion chased me up a tree, and I greatly enjoyed the view from the top.
Confucius
To be excellent when engaged in administration is to be like the North Star. As it remains in its one position, all the other stars surround it.
Confucius
To study and at times practice what one has learned, is this not a pleasure?
Confucius
To rein a kingdom efficiently it is necessary, before all, to put into good order the family. It's impossible for a man who doesn't know how to lead his own family to know how to lead a country.
Confucius
