      CONFUCIUS SAYS

      Expect much from yourself and little from others and you will avoid incurring resentments

      When you see a good person, think of becoming like her/him. When you see someone not so good, reflect on your own weak points.

      If names be not correct, language is not in accordance with the truth of things.

      Be versed in ancient lore, and familiarize yourself with the modern; then may you become teachers.

      Do not use a cannon to kill a mosquito.

      Desire to have things done quickly prevents their being done thoroughly.

      What you do not wish upon yourself, extend not to others.

      Eat at your own as you would the table of a king.

      Don't let your past determine your destiny.

      Be sincere and true to your word, serious and careful in your actions; and you will get along even among barbarians, But if you are not sincere and untrustworthy in your speech, frivolous and careless in your actions, how will you get along even among your own neighbors? When stand, see these principles in front of you; in your carriage see them on the yoke. Then you may be sure to get along.

      Men's natures are alike; it is their habits that separate them.

      Reviewing the day's lessons. Isn't it joyful? Friends come from far. Isn't it delightful? One has never been angry at other's misunderstanding. Isn't he a respectable man?

      We should feel sorrow, but not sink under its oppression.

      The superior man is all-embracing and not partial. The inferior man is partial and not all-embracing.

      Don't worry about being acknowledged by others; worry about failing to acknowledge them.

      He who requires much from himself and little from others, will keep himself from being the object of resentment.

      Guide them by edicts, keep them in line with punishments, and the common people will stay out of trouble but will have no sense of shame. Guide them by virtue, keep them in line with the rites, and they will, besides having a sense of shame, reform themselves.

      One dedicated worker is worth a thousand slaves.

      At fifteen my mind was directed to study, and at thirty I knew where to stand.

      We should worship as though the deity were present.

      You judge yourself by what you think you can achieve, others judge you by what have achieved.

      To know that one knows what one knows, and to know that one doesn't know what one doesn't know, there lies true wisdom.

      Is there any one maxim which ought to be acted upon throughout one's whole life? Surely the maxim of loving kindness is such: Do not unto others what you would not they should do unto you.

      When you are laboring for others, let it be with the same zeal as if it were for yourself.

      Do not answer the person whose questions are vile. Do not question a person whose answers are vile.

      The gentleman prefers to be slow in word but diligent in action.

      Words are the voice of the heart.

      They who know the truth are not equal to those who love it, and they who love it are not equal to those who delight in it.

      Your eyes are always bigger than your stomach.

      Ask yourself constantly, What is the right thing to do? Behave toward everyone as if receiving a great guest.

      To be fond of learning is to draw close to wisdom. To practice with vigor is to draw close to benevolence. To know the sense of shame is to draw close to courage. He who knows these three things knows how to cultivate his own character. Knowing how to cultivate his own character, he knows how to govern other men. Knowing how to govern other men, he knows how to govern the world, its states, and its families.

      Even in killing men, observe the rules of propriety.

      He who is really good can never be unhappy. He who is really wise can never be perplexed. He who is really brave is never afraid.

      A gentleman does not promote a man on account of what he says; nor does he reject sayings, because the speaker is what he is.

      The Master was entirely free from four things: prejudice, foregone conclusions, obstinacy, and egoism.

      At seventy, I could follow the dictates of my own heart; for what I desired no longer overstepped the boundaries of right.

      A man without a mustache is a man without a soul.

      "He who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger... Men of superior mind busy themselves first getting at the root of things; when they succeed,
