More quotes by Confucius
Just as lavishness leads easily to presumption, so does frugality to meanness. But meanness is a far less serious fault than presumption.
Confucius
A country of a thousand war-chariots cannot be administered unless the ruler attends strictly to business, punctually observes his promises, is economical in expenditure, loves the people, and uses the labor of the peasantry only at the proper times of year.
Confucius
Fix your mind on truth, hold firm to virtue, rely on loving kindness, and find your recreation in the Arts.
Confucius
Let a ruler base his government upon virtuous principles, and he will be like the pole-star, which remains steadfast in its place, while all the host of stars turn towards it
Confucius
The administration of government lies in getting proper men. Such men are to be got by means of the ruler's own character. That character is to be cultivated by his treading in the ways of duty. And the treading those ways of duty is to be cultivated by the cherishing of benevolence.
Confucius
Which demands a lot of himself and some others, will be free from hatred.
Confucius
To be truly happy and contented, you must let go of what it means to be happy or content.
Confucius
Time flows away like the water in the river.
Confucius
Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.
Confucius
When young, beware of fighting when strong, beware of sex and when old, beware of possession.
Confucius
Be loyal and trustworthy. Do not befriend anyone who is lower than yourself in this regard.
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
If a superior man abandon virtue, how can he fulfil the requirements of that name?
Confucius
The man who in view of gain thinks of righteousness who in the view of danger is prepared to give up his life and who does not forget an old agreement however far back it extends - such a man may be reckoned a complete man.
Confucius
What you know, you know, what you don't know, you don't know. This is true wisdom.
Confucius
The superior man is intelligently, not blindly, faithful.
Confucius
For benefits return benefits for injuries return justice without any admixture of revenge.
Confucius
The failure to cultivate virtue, the failure to examine and analyze what I have learned, the inability to move toward righteousness after being shown the way, the inability to correct my faults-these are the causes of my grief.
Confucius
In a State, pecuniary gain is not to be considered to be prosperity, but its prosperity will be found in righteousness.
Confucius
He Who Knows And Knows That He Knows Is A Wise Man - Follow Him He Who Knows Not And Knows Not That He Knows Not Is A Fool - Shun Him
Confucius
