"The vices come as passengers, visit us..." - Quote by Confucius

“To love a thing means wanting it to live.”

“Chi Wen Tzu always thought three times before taking action. Twice would have been quite enough.”

“A man may not transgress the bounds of major morals, but may make errors in minor morals.”

“If I quake, what matters it what I quake at? Our proper vice takes form in one or another shape, according to the sex, age, or temperament of the person, and, if we are capable of fear, will readily find terrors.”

“Bourgeois morality is largely a system of making cheap virtues a cloak for expensive vices.”

“Indeed envy is a defect; worse than any other.”

“Each man must begin where he stands, must learn how to control the things that are nearest to him.”

“Conquering others takes force, conquering yourself is true strength.”

“If people knew how much I hated them, they'd love me for holding it in.”
