"A youth is to be regarded with..." - Quote by Confucius

“Some are born with knowledge, some derive it from study, and some acquire it only after a painful realization of their ignorance. But the knowledge being possessed, it comes to the same thing. Some study with a natural ease, some from a desire for advantages, and some by strenuous effort. But the achievement being made, it comes to the same thing.”

“If your desire is for good, the people will be good.”

“When you are ignorant about something, to know that you are ignorant about it - that is knowledge.”

“I don't have to agree with you to like you or respect you.”

“No one nation can or should try to dominate another nation.”

“A youth is to be regarded with respect. How do we know that his future will not be equal to our present?”

“If I was to be their real teacher and guardian, I must touch their hearts, I must share their joys and sorrows, I must help them to solve the problems that faced them, and I must take along the right channel the surging aspirations of their youth.”

“The poet, as everyone knows, must strike his individual note sometime between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five. He may hold it a long time, or a short time, but it is then that he must strike it or never. School and college have been conducted with the almost express purpose of keeping him busy with something else till the danger of his ever creating anything is past.”

“When I was a kid, I inhaled. Frequently. That was the point.”
