Confucius

Love makes a spot beautiful: who chooses not to dwell in love, has he got wisdom?

Confucius

Love others as you would love yourself, judge others as you would judge yourself, cherish others as you would cherish yourself. When you wish for others as you wish for yourself and when you protect others as you would protect yourself, that’s when you can say it’s true love.

Confucius

Love should start from people close to us, then be extended to other people, to strangers, and eventually to the world.

Confucius

Man is born for uprightness. If a man lose his uprightness and yet live, his escape from death is the effect of mere good fortune.

Confucius

Many seek happiness higher than men; others beneath him. But happiness is the same height as man.

Confucius

Meet resentment with upright dealing and meet inner power with inner power.

Confucius

Moral force never dwells in solitude; it will always bring neighbors.

Confucius

Music is the one thing in which there is no use trying to deceive others or make false pretenses.

Confucius

Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.

Confucius

Naming enables the noble-minded to speak, and speech enables the noble-minded to act. Therefore, the noble-minded are anything but careless in speech.
