"A good man will certainly also possess..." - Quote by Confucius

“To be wealthy and honored in an unjust society is a disgrace.”

“To be excellent when engaged in administration is to be like the North Star. As it remains in its one position, all the other stars surround it.”

“There are three sorts of pleasures which are advantageous, and three which are injurious. Finding pleasure in the discriminating study of ceremonies and music, finding pleasure in discussing the good points in the conduct of others, and finding pleasure in having many wise friends, these are advantageous. But finding pleasure in profligate enjoyments, finding pleasure in idle gadding about, and finding pleasure in feasting, these are injurious.”

“All daring and courage, all iron endurance of misfortune-make for a finer, nobler type of manhood.”

“The sage is sharp but does not cut, pointed but does not pierce, forthright but does not offend, bright but does not dazzle.”

“In all the modern talk about energy, efficiency, social service and the rest of it, what meaning is there except "Get money, get it legally, and get a lot of it"? Money has become the grand test of virtue.”

“Personal courage is really a very subordinate virtue-a virtue, indeed, in which we are surpassed by the lower animals; or else you would not hear people say, as brave as a lion.”

“To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your path, and don't worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest.Always do what you are afraid to do.”

“IF - and this is the greatest of them all - I had the courage to see myself as I reallyam, I would find out what is wrong with me, and correct it, then I might have a chance to profit by my mistakes and learn something from the experience of others,for I know that there is something WRONG with me, or I would now be where I WOULD HAVE BEEN IF I had spent more time analyzing my weaknesses, and less time building alibis to cover them.”
