More quotes by 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
A good man will certainly also possess courage but a brave man is not necessarily good.
Confucius
But if you do not have the Tao yourself, what business have you spending your time in vain efforts to bring corrupt politicians into the right path?
Confucius
Don't let your past determine your destiny.
Confucius
For one word a man is often deemed to be wise, and for one word he is often deemed to be foolish. We should be careful indeed what we say.
Confucius
Listen widely to remove your doubts and be careful when speaking about the rest and your mistakes will be few.
Confucius
A blemish may be removed from a diamond by careful polishing, but evil words once spoken cannot be effaced.
Confucius
A great man is hard on himself a small man is hard on others.
Confucius
The superior person gathers his weapons together in order to provide against the unforeseen.
Confucius
Character is the backbone of our human culture. Music is the flowering of character.
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
It is better to live in peace than in bitterness and strife
Confucius
If you don't want to do something,don't impose on others
Confucius
I do not want a friend who smiles when I smile, who weeps when I weep for my shadow in the pool can do better than that.
Confucius
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.
Confucius
Knowledge is recognizing what you know and what you don't.
Confucius
We take greater pains to persuade others that we are happy than in endeavoring to think so ourselves
Confucius
Base yourself in loyalty and trust. Don't be companion with those who are not your moral equal. When you make a mistake, don't hesitate to correct it.
Confucius
All things are already complete in oneself.
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
