More quotes by Confucius
If you reflect within yourself and find nothing to be ashamed of, how could you have anxiety or fear.
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
Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts?
Confucius
Do not use a cannon to kill a mosquito.
Confucius
Be loyal and trustworthy. Do not befriend anyone who is lower than yourself in this regard.
Confucius
Learn as though you would never be able to master it hold it as though you would be in fear of losing it.
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
Some may study side by side, and yet be asunder when they come to the logic of things.
Confucius

Confucius
An inch of time on the sundial is worth more than a foot of jade.
Confucius
He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it.
Confucius
Just as lavishness leads easily to presumption, so does frugality to meanness. But meanness is a far less serious fault than presumption.
Confucius
In the Book of Poetry there are three hundred poems, but the meaning of all of them may be put in a single sentence: Have no debasing thoughts.
Confucius
To study and at times practice what one has learned, is this not a pleasure?
Confucius
The virtuous man is driven by responsibility, the non-virtuous man is driven by profit.
Confucius
As the water shapes itself to the vessel that contains it, so a wise man adapts himself to circumstances.
Confucius
The object of the superior man is truth.
Confucius
Being in humaneness is good. If we select other goodness and thus are far apart from humaneness, how can we be the wise?
Confucius
What the superior man seeks is in himself what the small man seeks is in others.
Confucius
A blemish may be removed from a diamond by careful polishing, but evil words once spoken cannot be effaced.
Confucius
