More quotes by Confucius
There is good government when those who are near are made happy, and when those who are afar are attracted.
Confucius

Confucius

Confucius
Sincerity becomes apparent. From being apparent, it becomes manifest. From being manifest, it becomes brilliant. Brilliant, it affects others. Affecting others, they are changed by it. Changed by it, they are transformed. It is only he who is possessed of the most complete sincerity that can exist under heaven, who can transform.
Confucius

Confucius
To know it is not as good as to love it, and to love it is not as good as to take delight in it.
Confucius
But if you do not have the Tao yourself, what business have you spending your time in vain efforts to bring corrupt politicians into the right path?
Confucius
Stars are holes in the sky from which the light of the infinite shines.
Confucius
When you have become one with the Great Universal, you will have no partiality, and when you are part of the process of transformation, you will have no rigidity.
Confucius
We take greater pains to persuade others that we are happy than in endeavoring to think so ourselves
Confucius
If you look into your own heart, and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear?
Confucius
Learning without thought is labour lost.
Confucius
