More quotes by Confucius
To understand yourself is the key to wisdom.
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
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
A reasonable man adjusts himself to the world. An unreasonable man expects the world to adjust itself to him. Therefore all progress is made by unreasonable people.
Confucius
Being strong does not mean that you never fall down, but that whenever you fall, you get up again.
Confucius

Confucius
Is any one able for one day to apply his strength to virtue? I have not seen the case in which his strength would be sufficient.
Confucius
Unify your attention. Do not listen with your ears, but with your mind. Do not listen with your mind but with your essence.
Confucius
Wouldst thou know if a people be well governed, or if its laws be good or bad, examine the music it practices.
Confucius
Everyone eats and drinks yet only few appreciate the taste of food.
Confucius

The person of benevolence never worries.
Confucius
