Confucius spiritual Quotes

I am not bothered by the fact that I am unknown I am not bothered by the fact that I am unknown. I am bothered when I do not know others. If you reflect within yourself and find nothing to be ashamed of, how could you have anxiety or fear. If good men were to govern a country for a hundred years, they could overcome cruelty and do away with killing. Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. When a person should be spoken with, and you don't speak with them, you lose them. When a person shouldn't be spoken with and you speak to them, you waste your breath. The wise do not lose people, nor do they waste their breath. Expect much from yourself and little from others and you will avoid incurring resentments. Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. Heaven means to be one with God.

Knowing is not as good as loving; loving is not as good as enjoying. Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do. No matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance. Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it. To know is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge. Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure. Among truly educated person there is no discrimination. Don’t do to other what you don’t want done to your self Wisdom delights in water; love delights in hills. Wisdom is stirring; love is quiet. Wisdom is merry; love grows old. After all I have no nationality and am not anxious to claim any. Individuality is more than nationality. It doesn't matter how slowly you go as long as you don't stop.
