Confucius If we don't know life, how can we know death? 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 If you shoot for the stars and hit the moon, it's OK. But you've got to shoot for something. A lot of people don't even shoot. Confucius If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people. Confucius In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of. Confucius Instead of being concerned that you have no office, be concerned to think how you may fit yourself for office. Instead of being concerned that you are not known, see to the (be?) worthy of being known. Confucius It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. Confucius It is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get. Confucius It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them. Confucius Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous. Confucius Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. Confucius Look at the means which a man employs, consider his motives, observe his pleasures. A man simply cannot conceal himself! Confucius Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself. Confucius Never give a sword to a man who can't dance. Confucius No matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance. Confucius Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator. Confucius Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change. Confucius Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. Confucius Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance. Confucius |
