More quotes by Confucius
What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.
Confucius
The Master said, To study, and then in a timely fashion to practice what you have learned - is this not satisfying? To have companions arrive from afar - is this not a joy? To remain unrecognized by others and yet remain free of resentment - is this not the mark of the gentleman?
Confucius
It is better to light one small candle of gratitude than to curse the darkness.
Confucius

Confucius
The superior man understands what is right the inferior man understands what will sell.

Confucius
The most beautiful sight in the world is a little child going confidently down the road of life after you have shown him the way.
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
A good man will certainly also possess courage but a brave man is not necessarily good.
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
Look at the means which a man employs, consider his motives, observe his pleasures. A man simply cannot conceal himself!
Confucius
