Text Quotes
When you see a good man, think of emulating him; when you see a bad man, examine your own heart  (Confucius Quotes) The superior man does not mind being in office; all he minds about is whether he has qualities that entitle him to office.

The higher type of man cherishes justice, the lower type of man cherishes the hope of favors to be received  (Confucius Quotes) There are those men who say to repay evil with kindness. But I say, how then are we to repay kindness? Repay kindness with kindness, but repay evil with justice  (Confucius Quotes) To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage, or of principle  (Confucius Quotes) The father who does not teach his son his duties is equally guilty with the son who neglects them  (Confucius Quotes) I want you to be everything that’s you, deep at the center of your being  (Confucius Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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  (Confucius Quotes) In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of.
