Chinese - Philosopher 551 BC - 479 BC
It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.
Confucius

To know what you know and what you do not know, that is true knowledge.
Confucius
Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
Confucius
Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is
sure to be failure.
Confucius
When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals,
adjust the action steps.
Confucius
When anger rises, think of the consequences.
Confucius
Never give a sword to a man who can't dance.
Confucius
What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.
Confucius
The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the
world at large.
Confucius
He who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is
in great danger.
Confucius
The cautious seldom err.
Confucius
I hear, I know. I see, I remember. I do, I understand.
Confucius
Death and life have their determined appointments; riches and honors depend upon
heaven.
Confucius
An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.
Confucius
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.
Confucius
Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous.
Confucius
The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what
will sell.
Confucius
It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.
Confucius

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.

Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.
Confucius
Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.
Confucius
To see the right and not to do it is cowardice.
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
The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.
Confucius
They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.

Confucius
Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts?
Confucius
A youth, when at home, should be filial and, abroad, respectful to his elders.
He should be earnest and truthful. He should overflow in love to all and
cultivate the friendship of the good. When he has time and opportunity, after
the performance of these things, he should employ them in polite studies.
Confucius
The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his
action.
Confucius
You cannot open a book without learning something.
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
Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.
Confucius
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Confucius
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest;
Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the
bitterest.
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

the other and correct them in myself.

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
The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.
Confucius

Confucius

highest. The second is limitation, which is the easiest. The third is
experience, which is the bitterest.
