"Love of goodness without love of learning..." - Quote by Confucius

“A workman who wants to do his work well must first prepare his tools.”

“How should I know anything about another world when I know so little of this?”

“Learn as though you would never be able to master it; hold it as though you would be in fear of losing it.”

“Children don’t heed the life experiences of their parents, and nations ignore history. Bad lessons always have to be learned anew.”

“All thinking begins with wondering”

“The ancients tell us what is best; but we must learn of the moderns what is fittest.”

“It is the characteristic of the magnanimous man to ask no favor but to be ready to do kindness to others.”

“The True Person benefits yet expects no reward, does the work and moves on. There is no desire to be considered better than others.”

“When the emperor is crowned or the three dukes are appointed, rather than sending a gift of jade carried by four horses, remain still and offer the Way.”
