"The main object of conciliation lies in..." - Quote by Confucius

“Knowing something is not as good as liking it. Liking something is not as good as rejoicing in it.”

“Shall I tell you what knowledge is? It is to know both what one knows and what one does not know.”

“The superior man does what is proper to the station in which he is; he does not desire to go beyond this. In a position of wealth and honor, he does what is proper to a position of wealth and honor. In a poor and low position, he does what is proper to a poor and low position.”

“If you want to stop an argument, close your mouth.”

“If each of us can learn to relate to each other more out of compassion, with a sense of connection to each other and a deep recognition of our common humanity, and more important, to teach this to our children, I believe that this can go a long way in reducing many of the conflicts and problems that we see today.”

“The ultimate way to solve human problems is with nonviolence.”

“What exercise is to the body, employment is to the mind and morals.”

“On every hand we observe a truly wise practice, in education, in morals, and in the arts of life, the embodied wisdom of many an ancient philosopher.”

“My lyrics say I have morals, I have confidence, I have weaknesses, I have strong points, that I am a human being.”
