Confucius:

(Motto in life)

If you don’t learn etiquette, you can’t stand up.

Do to others what you don’t want others to do to you.

If you want to establish yourself, you can establish others; if you want to achieve yourself, you can achieve others.

If you are generous to yourself but do not blame others, you will be far away from resentment.

When you see a virtuous person, you think about them; when you see a virtuous person, you introspect yourself.

When three people walk, they must have a teacher. Choose the good ones and follow them, and choose the bad ones and change them.

I examine myself three times every day: Am I being unfaithful to others? Have you ever left a letter with a friend? Are you not used to it?

Be respectful wherever you live, be respectful in your work, and be loyal to others.

A gentleman is respectful and courteous, and he is respectful and courteous to others. He is a brother in the world.

He is loyal in words and respectful in deeds. This is true even in a barbaric country. If you are not faithful in words and respectful in deeds, how can you do it even if you live in the state?

He who behaves in his own way is shameless and can be used in all directions without dishonoring the emperor's orders. He can be called a scholar.

Confucius said: "He who can do the five things is benevolent in the world." Please ask. Said: "Gong, generosity, trust, sensitivity, and benefit. Being respectful means not insulting, being lenient means winning people, being trustworthy means being able to do whatever you want, being sensitive means being successful, and being merciful means being able to win over others."

A gentleman's righteousness is a pledge, etiquette is used to practice it, grandson is to show it, and faith is to fulfill it. What a gentleman!

To make mistakes without correcting them is to make mistakes!

If it is passed, it will be changed in a hurry.

Don’t express your anger, don’t make mistakes twice.

Three armies can seize the commander, but an ordinary man cannot seize the will!

If a person has no long-term worries, he must have immediate worries.

No desire for haste, no small gains in sight. If you want haste, you will not achieve anything; if you see small gains, you will not achieve great things.

A scholar must be ambitious and have a long way to go. Isn’t it important to think of benevolence as one’s own responsibility? Isn't it just too far to die before oneself?

If you don’t uphold your virtues and don’t believe deeply, how can you live or die?

When making friends, keep your word.

Use literature to make friends, and use friends to assist benevolence.

Three friends will benefit you, and three friends will harm you. Friends who are straight, friends who are understanding, and friends who are knowledgeable are beneficial. If you have friends, you will be brave. If you are friendly, you will be gentle. If you have friends, you will be sycophantic, which is a loss.

A gentleman wants to be slow in words but quick in deeds.

A gentleman who has nothing to eat and nothing to live in, who is sensitive to things but careful in his words, is Taoist and upright, and he can be said to be eager to learn.

Spoken words confuse morality.

Clever words and charming words are fresh and benevolent.

Strongness, perseverance, woodiness, indifference and benevolence.

Those who are virtuous must educate themselves in words, but those who are eloquent do not need to cultivate virtues.

Listen to his words and watch his actions.

You don’t use your words to lift people up, and you don’t use people to trash your words.

The ancients could not say anything, and they could not catch it in shame.

The name of a gentleman must be eloquent, and his words must be actionable. A gentleman is nothing more than scrupulous in his words.

If you can talk to someone but don’t talk to them, you will miss someone; if you talk to someone you can’t talk to, you will miss your words. He who knows does not lose people, nor does he lose words.

To say something without mentioning it is called impatience; to say something but not say anything is called concealment; to say it without seeing the color is called blindness.

If you love benevolence but don’t learn, you will be a fool; if you love knowledge but don’t learn, you will be blind; if you love faith but don’t learn, you will be a thief; if you love straightforwardness but don’t learn, then you will be blind; if you love to be brave but don’t learn, then you will be blind. If you love to learn, you will be confused; if you are rigid and don't like to learn, you will be crazy.

If you are respectful but rude, you will be tired; if you are cautious but rude, you will be embarrassed; if you are brave but rude, you will be chaotic; if you are straight but rude, you will be strangled.

Serve the king, respect his duties and then eat them.

As for the purpose of etiquette, harmony is the most precious thing.

Those who act in favor of profit will have many complaints.

Confucius

(Learning Motto)

Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, this is knowing.

If I am the author without knowing it, then I am not the author. If you hear a lot, choose the good ones and follow them; if you see a lot, you will recognize them.

If you are holy, I can’t do it. I am never tired of learning and never tire of teaching.

If you don’t learn enough, you are afraid of losing it.

Smart and eager to learn, and not ashamed to ask questions.

Use the able to ask questions about the incompetent, ask too many questions about the few; if there is something there, if there is nothing, if it is true, it will be false, and you will make mistakes without correcting them.

Inspired by poetry, established in etiquette. Be happy.

Aspire to the Tao, base on virtue, rely on benevolence, and wander in art.

If you are not angry, you will not be enlightened, and if you are not angry, you will not be angry. If you take one corner and don't turn it back with three, it won't happen again.

Those who know something are not as good as those who are good at it, and those who are good at it are not as good as those who are happy.

I don’t eat all day long, stay up all night, and think about it, it’s useless, it’s not as good as learning.

Learning without thinking is a waste, thinking without learning is peril.

If everyone is evil, you will have to check it; if everyone is good, you will have to check it.

Isn’t it true that one should learn and practice from time to time?

You can become a teacher by reviewing the past and learning the new.

The sun knows where he is dead, and the moon has not forgotten what he can do. It can be said that he is eager to learn.

If you don’t learn poetry, you won’t be able to express it.

Poetry can be exciting, watchable, group-building, and resentful. Those who are near serve the father, and those who are far away serve the king; they are more familiar with the names of birds, beasts, grass and trees.

People have no permanence and cannot be witch doctors.

There is no distinction between teaching and learning.

I am not without teachings even if I have restrained myself.

Mencius

1. Therefore, when Heaven is about to entrust a person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. What he did, so he moved his heart and forbearance, was beneficial to what he could not do.

Translation: Therefore, when God is going to entrust this person with a major historical task, he must first test his mind, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, and exhaust his body.
