More quotes by Confucius
A good man is not mine to see. Could I see a man possessed of constancy, that would satisfy me.
Confucius
Never tire to study. And to teach to others
Confucius
I daily examine myself on three points: In planning for others, have I failed in conscientiousness? In intercourse with friends, have I been insincere? And have I failed to practice what I have been taught?
Confucius
It is better not to proceed at all than to proceed without purpose.
Confucius
In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of.
Confucius
Let mourning stop when one's grief is fully expressed.
Confucius
The administration of government lies in getting proper men. Such men are to be got by means of the ruler's own character. That character is to be cultivated by his treading in the ways of duty. And the treading those ways of duty is to be cultivated by the cherishing of benevolence.
Confucius
Only the supremely wise and the ignorant do not alter.
Confucius
What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.
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
To become a leader, you must first become a human being
Confucius
When admins have faults, they do not fear to ignore them
Confucius
Excess and deficiency are equally at fault.
Confucius
Look closely into his aims, observe the means by which he pursues them, discover what brings him content - and can the man's real worth remain hidden from you?
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
When you are laboring for others, let it be with the same zeal as if it were for yourself.
Confucius
A truly great man never puts away the simplicity of a child.
Confucius
The cautious seldom err.
Confucius
Those who cannot forgive others break the bridge over which they themselves must pass.
Confucius
The Gods cannot help those who do not seize opportunities.
Confucius
