"If a superior man abandon virtue, how..." - Quote by Confucius

“I used to listen to what others said, and expect them to act accordingly. But nowadays, I listen to what they say, and then observe what they do.”

“To learn and from time to time to apply what one has learned - isn't that a pleasure?”

“I have never seen a man as fond of virtue as of women.”

“There are three marks of a superior man: being virtuous, he is free from anxiety; being wise, he is free from perplexity; being brave, he is free from fear.”

“Gentlemen cherish worth; the vulgar cherish dirt. Gentlemen trust in justice; the vulgar trust in favor.”

“The superior man does what is proper to the station in which he is; he does not desire to go beyond this.”

“The wise man delights in water, the Good man delights in mountains. For the wise move; but the Good stay still. The wise are happy; but the good secure.”

“Courage, hard work, self-mastery, and intelligent effort are all essential to successful life.”

“Creating without claiming, Doing without taking credit, Guiding without interfering, This is Primal Virtue.”
