Confucius Say...

1.	Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes.	2.	Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.	3.	Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.	4.	Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.	5.	I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
6.	Ignorance is the night of the mind, but a night without moon and star.	7.	It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.	8.	Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do.	9.	Respect yourself and others will respect you.	10.	Study the past if you would define the future.
11.	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.	12.	To be able under all circumstances to practice five things constitutes perfect virtue; these five things are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness.	13.	To see what is right, and not to do it, is want of courage or of principle. (aka To know what is right and not to do it is the worst cowardice.)	14.	What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others.	15.	When anger rises, think of the consequences.
16.	Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart.	17.	They must often change who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.	18.	By nature, men are nearly alike; by practice, they get to be wide apart.	19.	Fine words and an insinuating appearance are seldom associated with true virtue.	20.	Have no friends not equal to yourself.
21.	He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it.	22.	He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good.	23.	He with whom neither slander that gradually soaks into the mind, nor statements that startle like a wound in the flesh, are successful may be called intelligent indeed.	24.	Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles.	25.	I am not one who was born in the possession of knowledge; I am one who is fond of antiquity, and earnest in seeking it there.
26.	If a man takes no thought about what is distant, he will find sorrow near at hand.	27.	If a man withdraws his mind from the love of beauty, and applies it as sincerely to the love of the virtuous; if, in serving his parents, he can exert his utmost strength; if, in serving his prince, he can devote his life; if in his intercourse with his friends, his words are sincere - although men say that he has not learned, I will certainly say that he has.	28.	Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous.	29.	The cautious seldom err.	30.	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.
31.	The man of virtue makes the difficulty to be overcome his first business, and success only a subsequent consideration.	32.	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 does not forget an old agreement however far back it extends - such a man may be reckoned a complete man.	33.	The people may be made to follow a path of action, but they may not be made to understand it.	34.	The superior man cannot be known in little matters, but he may be entrusted with great concerns. The small man may not be entrusted with great concerns, but he may be known in little matters.	35.	The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.
36.	The superior man is satisfied and composed; the mean man is always full of distress.	37.	The superior man... does not set his mind either for anything, or against anything; what is right he will follow.	38.	There are three things which the superior man guards against. In youth... lust. When he is strong... quarrelsomeness. When he is old... covetousness.	39.	Things that are done, it is needless to speak about... things that are past, it is needless to blame.	40.	To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short.
41.	Virtue is more to man than either water or fire. I have seen men die from treading on water and fire, but I have never seen a man die from treading the course of virtue.	42.	Virtue is not left to stand alone. He who practices it will have neighbors.	43.	What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.	44.	When a man's knowledge is sufficient to attain, and his virtue is not sufficient to enable him to hold, whatever he may have gained, he will lose again.	45.	When we see men of worth, we should think of equaling them; when we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.
46.	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.	47.	With coarse rice to eat, with water to drink, and my bended arm for a pillow - I have still joy in the midst of these things. Riches and honors acquired by unrighteousness are to me as a floating cloud.	48.	Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.	49.	The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his actions.	50.	While you are not able to serve men, how can you serve spirits [of the dead]? While you do not know life, how can you know about death?
51.	If you look into your own heart, and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear?	52.	Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.	53.	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 easy to get.	54.	A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.	55.	Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.
56.	Life is really very simple, but we insist on making it complicated.	57.	In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of.	58.	He that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools.	59.	It is better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness.	60.	It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.
61.	The father who does not teach his son his duties is equally guilty with the son who neglects them.	62.	Worry not that no one knows of you; seek to be worth knowing.	63.	The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell. (aka The virtuous man is driven by responsibility, the non-virtuous man is driven by profit.)	64.	Don't be concerned others not appreciating you. Be concerned about your not appreciating others.	65.	The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.
66.	Gravity is only the bark of wisdom, but it preserves it.	67.	Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change.	68.	A man who stands on a hill with his mouth open will wait a long time for roast duck to drop in.	69.	Don't complain about the snow on your neighbor's roof when your own doorstep is unclean.	70.	Not to alter one's faults is to be faulty indeed.
71.	If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.	72.	If I am walking with two other men, each of them will serve as my teacher. I will pick out the good points of the one and imitate them, and the bad points of the other and correct them in myself.	73.	Can there be a love which does not make demands on its object?	74.	A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it is committing another mistake.	75.	A picture is a poem without words.
76.	To see and listen to the wicked is already the beginning of wickedness.	77.	By three methods we may learn wisdom: first, by reflection which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is the easiest; and third, by experience, which is the bitterest.	78.	Reviewing what you have learned and learning anew, you are fit to be a teacher.	79.	The superior man is all-embracing and not partial. The inferior man is partial and not all-embracing.	80.	To study and not think is a waste. To think and not study is dangerous.
81.	See a person's means (of getting things). Observe his motives. Examine that in which he rests. How can a person conceal his character?	82.	What you know, you know; what you don't know, you don't know. This is true wisdom.	83.	When you serve your mother and father, it is okay to try to correct them once in a while. But if you see that they are not going to listen to you, keep your respect for them and don't distance yourself from them. Work without complaining.	84.	What Heaven has conferred is called The Nature; an accordance with this nature is called The Path of duty; the regulation of this path is called Instruction. The path may not be left for an instant. If it could be left, it would not be the path.	85.	The institutions of the Ruler are rooted in his own character and conduct. His presenting himself with his institutions before spiritual beings, without any doubts arising about them, shows that he knows Heaven. His being prepared, without any misgivings, to wait for the rise of a sage a hundred ages after, shows that he knows men.
86.	The superior man can find himself in no situation in which he is not himself.	87.	Benevolence is the characteristic element of humanity.	88.	It is characteristic of the most entire sincerity to be able to foreknow. When a nation or family is about to flourish, there are sure to be happy omens; and when it is about to perish, there are sure to be unlucky omens.	89.	To no one but the Son of Heaven does it belong to order ceremonies, to fix the measures, and to determine the written characters.	90.	Things have their root and their branches. Affairs have their end and their beginning. To know what is first and what is last will lead near to what is taught in the Great Learning.
91.	When you are laboring for others, let it be with the same zeal as if it were for yourself.	92.	Every truth has four corners: as a teacher I give you one corner, and it is for you to find the other three.	93.	When a person should be spoken with, and you don't speak with them, you lose them. When a person shouldn't be spoken with and you speak to them, you waste your breath. The wise do not lose people, nor do they waste their breath.	94.	Recompense injury with justice, and recompense kindness with kindness.	95.	An oppressive government is more feared than a tiger.
96.	Since you yourself desire standing then help others achieve it; since you yourself desire success then help others attain it.	97.	If the people be led by laws, and uniformity among them be sought by punishments, they will try to escape punishment and have no sense of shame. If they are led by virtue, and uniformity sought among them through the practice of ritual propriety, they will possess a sense of shame and come to you of their own accord.	98.	If your desire is for good, the people will be good. The moral character of the ruler is the wind; the moral character of those beneath him is the grass. When the wind blows, the grass bends.	99.	Li: Look at nothing in defiance of ritual, listen to nothing in defiance of ritual, speak of nothing in defiance of ritual, never stir hand or foot in defiance of ritual.	100.	Ren: Compassion, loving others, altruism.
