More quotes by Confucius
To err and not reform, this may indeed be called error.
Confucius
There are three marks of a superior man: being virtuous, he is free from anxiety being wise, he is free from perplexity being brave, he is free from fear.
Confucius
One who is by nature daring and is suffering from poverty will not long be law-abiding. Indeed, any men, save those that are truly good, if their sufferings are very great, will be likely to rebel.
Confucius
The end of the day is near when small men make long shadows.
Confucius
When the wind blows,the grass bends.
Confucius
We take greater pains to persuade others that we are happy than in endeavoring to think so ourselves
Confucius
The demands that good people make are upon themselves Those that bad people make are upon others.
Confucius
Keep it simple and focus on what matters. Don't let yourself be overwhelmed.
Confucius
Behave when away from home as though you were in the presence of an honored guest. Employ the people as though you were assisting at an important sacrifice. Do not do to others what you would not like yourself. Then there will be no feelings of opposition to you, whether it is the affairs of a state that you are handling or the affairs of a family.
Confucius
There is one single thread binding my way together...the way of the Master consists in doing one's best...that is all.
Confucius
Ability will never catch up with the demand for it.
Confucius
In dealing with the dead, if we treat them as if they were entirely dead, that would show a want of affection and should not be done or, if we treat them as if they were entirely alive, that would show a want of wisdom and should not be done.
Confucius
Don't use cannon to kill musquito.
Confucius
The sun and moon shine on all without partiality.
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
Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.
Confucius
Everyone eats and drinks yet only few appreciate the taste of food.
Confucius
Men do not stumble over mountains, but over mole hills.
Confucius
When you are ignorant about something, to know that you are ignorant about it - that is knowledge.
Confucius
Excess and deficiency are equally at fault.
Confucius
