"The superior man does what is proper..." - Quote by Confucius

“To see the right and not to do it is cowardice.”

“A gentleman would be ashamed should his deeds not match his words.”

“When music and courtesy are better understood and appreciated, there will be no war.”

“Possessed of courage but devoid of morality, a superior man will make trouble while a small man will be a brigand.”

“The superior man does not mind being in office; all he minds about is whether he has qualities that entitle him to office. He does not mind failing to get recognition; he is too busy doing the things that entitle him to recognition.”

“The superior man will watch over himself when he is alone. He examines his heart that there may be nothing wrong there, and that he may have no cause of dissatisfaction with himself.”

“I have no idea what's awaiting me, or what will happen when this all ends. For the moment I know this: there are sick people and they need curing.”

“It is not necessary that whilst I live I live happily; but it is necessary that so long as I live I should live honourably.”

“Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'”
