Confucius

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. ”

To practice five things under all circumstances constitutes perfect virtue; these five are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness. ”

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. ”

It is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get. ”

Virtue is not left to stand alone. He who practices it will have neighbors. ”

If some years were added to my life, I would give fifty to the study of the Yi, and then I might come to be without great faults. ”

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. ”

If we don't know life, how can we know death? ”

Death and life have their determined appointments; riches and honors depend upon heaven. ”

Go before the people with your example, and be laborious in their affairs. ”
