More quotes by Confucius

Confucius
I have yet to meet a man as fond of high moral conduct as he is of outward appearances.
Confucius
If you devote your life to seeking revenge, first dig two graves.
Confucius
Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.
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
The way you cut your meat reflects the way you live.
Confucius
It is better not to proceed at all than to proceed without purpose.
Confucius
The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved.

Confucius
At fifteen, my mind was bent on learning. At thirty, I stood firm. At forty, I had no doubts. At fifty, I knew the decrees of Heaven. At sixty, my ear was receptive to truth. At seventy, I could follow my heart's desires without sin.
Confucius
If you don't know how to live, why wonder about death?
Confucius
If you reflect within yourself and find nothing to be ashamed of, how could you have anxiety or fear.
Confucius

Confucius
A hammer shatters glass but it also forges steel.

He who is harmony with Nature hits the mark without effort and apprehends the truth without thinking.

I do not want a friend who smiles when I smile, who weeps when I weep for my shadow in the pool can do better than that.
Confucius
