More quotes by Confucius
A good man will certainly also possess courage but a brave man is not necessarily good.
Confucius
Respect yourself and others will respect you.
Confucius
Some are born with knowledge, some derive it from study, and some acquire it only after a painful realization of their ignorance. But the knowledge being possessed, it comes to the same thing. Some study with a natural ease, some from a desire for advantages, and some by strenuous effort. But the achievement being made, it comes to the same thing.
Confucius
