If one learns from others, but does not think, one will be bewildered. If, on the other hand, one thinks but does not learn from others, one will be in peril.

More quotes by Confucius
Character is the backbone of our human culture. Music is the flowering of character.
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
You must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance.
Confucius
Sincerity is that whereby self-completion is effected, and its way is that by which man must direct himself.
Confucius
Whatever heaven ordains is best.
Confucius
A father's and a mother's age must be borne in mind with joy on the one hand, fear on the other.
Confucius
The superior man is universally minded and no partisan. The inferior man is a partisan and not universal.
Confucius
A lion chased me up a tree, and I greatly enjoyed the view from the top.
Confucius
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
Confucius
Faithfulness and sincerity first of all.
Confucius
It is not possible for one to teach others who cannot teach his own family.
Confucius
It is better to live in peace than in bitterness and strife
Confucius
He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good.
Confucius
Everyone eats and drinks yet only few appreciate the taste of food.
Confucius
For benefits return benefits for injuries return justice without any admixture of revenge.
Confucius
Great as heaven and earth are, men still find some things in them with which to be dissatisfied. Thus it is that, were the superior man to speak of his way in all its greatness, nothing in the world would be found able to embrace it, and were he to speak of it in its minuteness, nothing in the world would be found able to split it.
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
The wise find pleasure in water the virtuous find pleasure in hills. The wise are active the virtuous are tranquil. The wise are joyful the virtuous are long-lived.
Confucius
Do not worry about not holding high position worry rather about playing your proper role. Worry not that no one knows of you seek to be worth knowing.
Confucius
Men do not stumble over mountains, but over mole hills.
Confucius
