Chinese teacher, editor, politician, and philosopher of the Spring and Autumn period of Chinese history.
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall
It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop
Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men
Death and life have their determined appointments; riches and honors depend upon heaven
The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the world at large
He who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger
Live your life as an Exclamation rather than an Explanation
People are of two types: They are either your brothers in faith or your brothers in humanity.
Never whisper in company
The wing of the Falcon brings to the king, the wing if the crow brings him to the cemetery
Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country
The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing
