Confucius

Chinese Philosopher

Chinese philosopher of the Spring and Autumn period who is traditionally considered the paragon of Chinese sages, as well as the first teacher in China to advocate for mass education

Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage.
He who acts with a constant view to his own advantage will be much murmured against.
Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.
The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.
The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell.
Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.
If we don't know life, how can we know death?
The superior man makes the difficulty to be overcome his first interest; success only comes later.
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.
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.
