Confucius; Chinese philosopher, 551 - 479 BC


Quotes by Confucius



Our greatest glory is not
in never falling
but in rising every time
we fall.

It is easy to hate and
is 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.

I hear, I know. I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.

The more man meditates upon good
thoughts, the better will be his world
and the world at large.

If you look into your own heart, and
you find nothing wrong there, what
is there to worry about? What is
there to fear?

To practice five things under all
circumstances constitutes perfect
virtue; these five things are:
gravity, generosity of soul,
sincerity, earnestness,
and kindness.

I want you to be everything
that is you, deep at the
center of your being.

Never give a sword to a man
who can´t dance.

To see and listen to the wicked is
already the beginning of wickedness.

Everything has beauty but not
everyone sees it.

Choose a job you love, and you will
never have to work a day in your life.

In a country well governed, poverty is
something to be ashamed of. In a country
badly governed, wealth is something to
be ashamed of.

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be
reached, don´t adjust the goals, adjust
the action steps.

He who learns but does not think, is lost!
He who thinks but does not learn is in
great danger.

To be wronged is nothing; unless you
continue to remember it.

Heaven means to be one with God.

To see the right and not to do it
is cowardice.

You cannot open a book without
learning something.

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.

If I am walking with two other men,
each of them will serve as my teacher.
I will pick out the good points of the
one and imitate them, and the bad
points of the other and correct
them in myself.
