More quotes by Confucius
Respect yourself and others will respect you.
Confucius
All things are nourished together without their injuring one another. The courses of the seasons, and of the sun and moon, are pursued without any collision among them. The smaller energies are like river currents the greater energies are seen in mighty transformations. It is this which makes heaven and earth so great.
Confucius
To study and constantly, is this not a pleasure? To have friends come from far away places, is this not a joy? If people do not recognize your worth, but this does not worry you, are you not a true gentleman?
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
When you see a worthy person, endeavor to emulate him. When you see an unworthy person, then examine your inner self.
Confucius
The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the world at large.

Confucius
Listen much, keep silent when in doubt, and always take heed of the tongue thou wilt make few mistakes. See much, beware of pitfalls, and always give heed to thy walk thou wilt have little to rue. If thy words are seldom wrong, thy deeds leave little to rue, pay will follow.
Confucius
