Confucius
Behave when away from home as though you were in the presence of an honored guest. Employ the people as though you were assisting at an important sacrifice. Do not do to others what you would not like yourself. Then there will be no feelings of opposition to you, whether it is the affairs of a state that you are handling or the affairs of a family.
Confucius
A great man is hard on himself a small man is hard on others.
Confucius
By gaining the people, the kingdom is gained by losing the people, the kingdom is lost.
Confucius
Justice is like the north star, which is fixed, and all the rest revolve about it.
Confucius
