The superior man, extensively studying all learning, and keeping himself under the restraint of the rules of propriety, may thus likewise not overstep what is right.
Confucius
Every journey starts with a single step.
Confucius

Confucius
The superior man does not mind being in office all he minds about is whether he has qualities that entitle him to office. He does not mind failing to get recognition he is too busy doing the things that entitle him to recognition.
Confucius
Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts?
Confucius
He who chases two rabbits, catches none.
Confucius
The highest kind of man is the one who does before talking and practices what he professes.
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 know a thing, to hold that you know it, and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it - this is knowledge.
Confucius
