Confucius Quotes
To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short. To practice five things under all circumstances constitutes perfect virtue; these five are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness. To see and listen to the wicked is already the beginning of wickedness. To see the right and not to do it is cowardice. Virtue is not left to stand alone. He who practices it will have neighbors. Virtuous people often revenge themselves for the constraints to which they submit by the boredom which they inspire. We should feel sorrow, but not sink under its oppression. What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others. When anger rises, think of the consequences. When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. When we see persons of worth, we should think of equaling them; when we see persons of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves. When you are laboring for others let it be with the same zeal as if it were for yourself. 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. Wherever you go, go with all your heart. Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men. Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts? You cannot open a book without learning something.
