More quotes by Confucius
Virtuous people often revenge themselves for the constraints to which they submit by the boredom which they inspire.
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
Great as heaven and earth are, men still find some things in them with which to be dissatisfied. Thus it is that, were the superior man to speak of his way in all its greatness, nothing in the world would be found able to embrace it, and were he to speak of it in its minuteness, nothing in the world would be found able to split it.
Confucius
A gentleman would be ashamed should his deeds not match his words.
Confucius
Those who break down the dikes will themselves be drowned in the inundation.
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
Wisdom is rooted in watching with affection the way people grow.
Confucius

Confucius
It was by music that the ancient kings gave elegant expression to their joy. By their armies and axes they gave the same to their anger.
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
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
One joy dispels a hundred cares.
Confucius
If you chase two rabbits, you catch none.
Confucius
The cautious seldom err.
Confucius
When one cultivates to the utmost the principles of his nature, and exercises them on the principle of reciprocity, he is not far from the path.
Confucius
He who learns but does not think, is lost. He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.
Confucius
It is better not to proceed at all than to proceed without purpose.
Confucius
Not too isolated, not too many relationships, the middle, that's wisdom.
Confucius
