"If a man sets his heart on..." - Quote by Confucius

“Do not treat others as you yourself would not be treated.”

“The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his action.”

“If you would one day renovate yourself, do so from day to day.”

“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.”

“The Master said, I set my heart on the Way, base myself on virtue, lean upon benevolence for support and take my recreation in the arts.”

“Mankind was my business... charity, mercy, forbearance, benevolence, were all my business.”

“The works of nature must all be accounted good.”

“A poet is one who can call forth the good latent in the human beast.”

“See the good in people and help them.”
