The cautious seldom err.
Confucius
The determined scholar and the man of virtue will not seek to
live at the expense of injuring their virtue. They will even
sacrifice their lives to preserve their virtue complete.
Confucius
The expectations of life depend upon diligence; the mechanic
that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools.
Confucius
The father who does not teach his son his duties is equally
guilty with the son who neglects them.
Confucius
The faults of a superior person are like the sun and moon. They
have their faults, and everyone sees them; they change and everyone
looks up to them.
Confucius
The firm, the enduring, the simple, and the modest are near
to virtue.
Confucius
The man of virtue makes the difficulty to be overcome his first
business, and success only a subsequent consideration.
Confucius
The man who in view of gain thinks of righteousness; who in
the view of danger is prepared to give up his life; and who

- such a man may be reckoned a complete man.
Confucius
The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be
his world and the world at large.

Confucius
The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks
according to his action.
Confucius

be entrusted with great concerns. The small man may not be entrusted
with great concerns, but he may be known in little matters.
Confucius
The superior man...does not set his mind either for anything,
or against anything; what is right he will follow.
Confucius

he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the
ability that he has.
Confucius

actions.

always full of distress.
Confucius

interest; success only comes later.

of comfort.
Confucius
The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man
understands what will sell.
Confucius
The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that
danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget
the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget
that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and
his States and all their clans are preserved.
Confucius
The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your
full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door
to personal excellence.
Confucius
There are three methods to gaining wisdom. The first is reflection,
which is the highest. The second is limitation, which is the
easiest. The third is experience, which is the bitterest.
Confucius
There are three things which the superior man guards against.
In youth...lust. When he is strong...quarrelsomeness. When he
is old...covetousness.
Confucius
There is no spectacle more agreeable than to observe an old
friend fall from a rooftop.
Confucius
They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or
wisdom.
Confucius
Things that are done, it is needless to speak about...things
that are past, it is needless to blame.
Confucius

Confucius
To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short.
