"What you know, you know, what you..." - Quote by Confucius

“Virtue is not solitary; it is bound to have neighbors”

“Humility forms the basis of honor, just as the low ground forms the foundation of a high elevation.”

“Good thinkers are always in demand. A person who knows how may always have a job, but the person who knows why will always be his boss.”

“The truth comes as conqueror only because we have lost the art of receiving it as guest.”

“For every man who has learned to fight in arms will desire to learn the proper arrangement of an army, which is the sequel of the lesson.”

“I ate them like salad, books were my sandwich for lunch, my tiffin and dinner and midnight munch. I tore out the pages, ate them with salt, doused them with relish, gnawed on the bindings, turned the chapters with my tongue! Books by the dozen, the score and the billion. I carried so many home I was hunchbacked for years. Philosophy, art history, politics, social science, the poem, the essay, the grandiose play, you name 'em, I ate 'em.”

“Our ideas must agree with realities, be such realities concrete or abstract”
