More quotes by Confucius
Ceremonies are the first thing to be attended to in the practice of government.
Confucius
Study the past if you would define the future. I am not one who was born in the possession of knowledge I am one who is fond of antiquity, and earnest in seeking it there. Learning without thought is labor lost thought without learning is perilous.
Confucius
The man of perfect virtue, wishing to be established himself, seeks also to establish others wishing to be enlarged himself, he seeks also to enlarge others.
Confucius
The rich fool is like a pig that is choked by its own fat.
Confucius
When a person should be spoken with, and you don't speak with them, you lose them. When a person shouldn't be spoken with and you speak to them, you waste your breath. The wise do not lose people, nor do they waste their breath.
Confucius
Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.
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
To acknowledge our faults when we are blamed, is modesty to discover them to one's friends in ingenuousness, is confidence but to preach them to all the world, if one does not take care, is pride.
Confucius
The object of the superior man is truth.
Confucius
A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.
Confucius
Man who stand on hill with mouth open will wait long time for roast duck to drop in.
Confucius
A man of humanity is one who, in seeking to establish himself, finds a foothold for others and who, in desiring attaining himself, helps others to attain.
Confucius
The expectations of life depend upon diligence the mechanic that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools.
Confucius
To be poor without murmuring is difficult. To be rich without being proud is easy.
Confucius
Those who cannot forgive others break the bridge over which they themselves must pass.
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
The sun and moon shine on all without partiality.
Confucius
Be loyal to yourself, charitable to neighbours, nothing more.
Confucius
Man is born with uprightness. If one loses it, he will be lucky if he escapes with his life.
Confucius
Among us, in our part of the country, those who are upright are different from this. The father conceals the misconduct of the son, and the son conceals the misconduct of the father. Uprightness is to be found in this.
Confucius
