"Exemplary persons are steadfast in the face..." - Quote by Confucius

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

“The scholar does not consider gold and jade to be precious treasures, but loyalty and good faith.”

“It is not possible for one to teach others who cannot teach his own family.”

“You don't overcome challenges by making them smaller but by making yourself bigger.”

“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”

“No smile is as beautiful as the one that struggles through tears.”

“We, the lineal representatives of the successful enactors of one scene of slaughter after another, must, whatever more pacific virtues we may also possess, still carry about with us, ready at any moment to burst into flame, the smoldering and sinister traits of character by means of which they lived through so many massacres, harming others, but themselves unharmed.”

“If a man continually blusters, if he lacks civility, a big stick will not save him from trouble, and neither will speaking softly avail, if back of the softness there does not lie strength, power.”

“Nothing is more simple than greatness; indeed, to be simple is to be great.”
