"Those who are firm, enduring, simple and..." - Quote by Confucius

“There are three sorts of pleasures which are advantageous, and three which are injurious. Finding pleasure in the discriminating study of ceremonies and music, finding pleasure in discussing the good points in the conduct of others, and finding pleasure in having many wise friends, these are advantageous. But finding pleasure in profligate enjoyments, finding pleasure in idle gadding about, and finding pleasure in feasting, these are injurious.”

“You turn the handle the way it goes, not the way it ought to go”

“If I understand Change, I shall make no great mistake in Life”

“So I like life and I like righteousness; if I cannot keep the two together, I will let life go and choose righteousness.”

“True power and true politeness are above vanity.”

“For many wish not so much to be, as to seem to be, endowed with real virtue.”

“The truest test of civilization, culture and dignity is character and not clothing.”

“In most cases, strengths and weaknesses are two sides of the same coin. A strength in one situation is a weakness in another, yet often the person can't switch gears. It's a very subtle thing to talk about strengths and weaknesses because almost always they're the same thing.”

“To belittle, you have to be little.”
