Ashish R's Key Ideas from Confucius: Chinese Philosopher
by Wendy Conklin

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

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it

To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order;

to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order;

to put the family in order; we must first cultivate our personal life;

we must first set our hearts right

If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room

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

An orchid in a deep forest sends out its fragrance even if no one is around to appreciate it.

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

When you see a good person, think of becoming like her/him.

When you see someone not so good, reflect on your own weak points

If you are courteous, you will not be disrespected;

If you are generous, you will gain everything.

If you are honest, people will rely on you.

If you are persistent you will get results.

If you are kind, you can employ people

He who conquers himself is the mightiest warrior

The man who asks a question is a fool for a minute, the man who does not ask is a fool for life

If you make a mistake and do not correct it, this is called a mistake

A great man is hard on himself; a small man is hard on others
