quotes by Confucius

When you have faults, do not fear to abandon them.

The superior man loves his soul, the inferior man loves his property.

The object of the superior man is truth.

He who wished to secure the good of others, has already secured his own.

The greatest glory is not in never failing but in rising up every time we fall.

To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must cultivate our personal life; and to cultivate our personal life, we must first set our hearts right.

It is not the failure of others to appreciate your abilities that should trouble you, but rather your failure to appreciate theirs.
