All things are nourished together without their injuring one another. The courses of the seasons, and of the sun and moon, are pursued without any collision among them. The smaller energies are like river currents; the greater energies are seen in mighty transformations. It is this which makes heaven and earth so great (Confucius Quotes)
Sincerity becomes apparent. From being apparent, it becomes manifest. From being manifest, it becomes brilliant. Brilliant, it affects others. Affecting others, they are changed by it. Changed by it, they are transformed. It is only he who is possessed of the most complete sincerity that can exist under heaven, who can transform (Confucius Quotes)

The gentleman has nine cares. In seeing he is careful to see clearly; in hearing he is careful to hear distinctly; in his looks he is careful to be kind, in his manner to be respectful, in his words to be sincere, in his work to be diligent. When in doubt he is careful to ask for information; when angry he has a care for the consequences; and when he sees a chance for gain, he thinks carefully whether the pursuits of it would be right (Confucius Quotes)
Listen much, keep silent when in doubt, and always take heed of the tongue; thou wilt make few mistakes. See much, beware of pitfalls, and always give heed to thy walk; thou wilt have little to rue. If thy words are seldom wrong, thy deeds leave little to rue, pay will follow (Confucius Quotes)
Sir, in carrying on your government, why should you use killing at all? Let your evinced desires be for what is good, and the people will be good. The relation between superiors and inferiors is like that between the wind and the grass. The grass must bend, when the wind blows across it (Confucius Quotes)
When we have intelligence resulting from sincerity, this condition is to be ascribed to nature; when we have sincerity resulting from intelligence, this condition is to be ascribed to instruction. But given the sincerity, and there shall be the intelligence; given the intelligence, and there shall be the sincerity (Confucius Quotes)
I do not enlighten those who are not eager to learn, nor arouse those who are not anxious to give an explanation themselves. If I have presented one corner of the square and they cannot come back to me with the other three, I should not go over the points again (Confucius Quotes)
In ancient times, those who wished to illuminate the world with virtue first brought order to their nations. Wishing to order well their nations, they first harmonized their families. Wishing to harmonize their families, they first cultivated themselves. Wishing to cultivate themselves, they first rectified their minds. Those who wished to rectify their minds first made their intentions sincere (Confucius Quotes)
A man who has committed a mistake and doesn’t correct it is committing another mistake (Confucius Quotes)
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do (Confucius Quotes)
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 (Confucius Quotes)
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 (Confucius Quotes)
The scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar (Confucius Quotes)
The superior man... Does not set his mind either for anything, or against anything; what is right he will follow (Confucius Quotes)
Things that are done, it is needless to speak about... Things that are past, it is needless to blame (Confucius Quotes)
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 (Confucius Quotes)
When a country is well governed, poverty and a mean condition are things to be ashamed of. When a country is ill governed, riches and honor are things to be ashamed of (Confucius Quotes)
The man of virtue makes the difficulty to be overcome his first business, and success only a subsequent consideration (Confucius Quotes)
The superior man governs men, according to their nature, with what is proper to them, and as soon as they change what is wrong, he stops (Confucius Quotes)
Heaven, in the production of things, is sure to be bountiful to them, according to their qualities. Hence the tree that is flourishing, it nourishes, while that which is ready to fall, it overthrows (Confucius Quotes)
To be fond of learning is to be near to knowledge. To practice with vigor is to be near to magnanimity. To possess the feeling of shame is to be near to energy (Confucius Quotes)
By the ruler’s cultivation of his own character, the duties of universal obligation are set forth. By honoring men of virtue and talents, he is preserved from errors of judgment (Confucius Quotes)
Sincerity is the end and beginning of things; without sincerity there would be nothing. On this account, the superior man regards the attainment of sincerity as the most excellent thing (Confucius Quotes)
If names are not correct, language will not be in accordance with the truth of things (Confucius Quotes)
A ruler who governs his state by virtue is like the north polar star, which remains in its place while all the other stars revolve around it (Confucius Quotes)
If we are not yet able to serve man, how can we serve spiritual beings?... If we do not yet know about life how can we know about death? (Confucius Quotes)
