More quotes by Confucius
A truly great man never puts away the simplicity of a child.
Confucius
He who learns but does not think, is lost. He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.
Confucius
Make faithfulness and truth thy masters: have no friends unlike thyself: be not ashamed to mend thy faults.
Confucius
Listen widely to remove your doubts and be careful when speaking about the rest and your mistakes will be few.
Confucius
If either wealth or poverty are come by honesty, there is no shame.
Confucius
If doing what ought to be done be made the first business and success a secondary consideration--is not this the way to exalt virtue?
Confucius
I have never seen a man as fond of virtue as of women.
Confucius
The proper man understands equity, the small man profits.
Confucius
Stars are holes in the sky from which the light of the infinite shines.
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
If there were an honorable way to get rich, I’d do it, even if it meant being a stooge standing around with a whip. But there isn’t an honorable way, so I just do what I like.
Confucius
A blemish may be removed from a diamond by careful polishing, but evil words once spoken cannot be effaced.
Confucius
In vain I have looked for a single man capable of seeing his own faults and bringing the charge home against himself.
Confucius
Listen much, keep silent when in doubt, and always take heed of the tongue thou wilt make few mistakes. See much, beware of pitfalls, and always give heed to thy walk thou wilt have little to rue. If thy words are seldom wrong, thy deeds leave little to rue, pay will follow.
Confucius
Attack the evil that is within yourself, rather than attacking the evil that is in others.
Confucius
Happiness does not consist in having what you want, but in wanting what you have
Confucius
The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the world at large.
Confucius
One who is by nature daring and is suffering from poverty will not long be law-abiding. Indeed, any men, save those that are truly good, if their sufferings are very great, will be likely to rebel.
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.
Confucius
The really faithful lover of learning holds fast to the Good Way till death.
Confucius
