As an important figure in my country's thousand-year cultural history and a great educator and thinker, Confucius naturally had a profound understanding of the principles of life. Below is a selection of Confucius's famous sayings about life that I compiled for you. I hope you like it.

1. If you raise the straight and ignore the false, the people will obey; if you raise the straight and false, the people will not obey.

2. Don’t show off your anger or make mistakes.

3. Clever words and charming words, fresh and benevolent.

4. When the year is cold, you will know that the pines and cypresses will be followed by the carvings.

5. People have no permanence and cannot be witch doctors.

6. You are so virtuous, come back! A basket of food and a ladle of drink, in a back alley, people cannot bear their worries. Even if I return, I will not change my joy.

7. Those who live in this country, serve its officials as wise people, and make friends with its scholars as benevolent people.

8. If the Tao is not up to standard and follows me on a boat floating in the sea, what is the reason for this?

9. 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.

10. Isn’t it just right to learn and practice from time to time? Isn’t it a joy to have friends come from afar? Isn’t it a gentleman if a person doesn’t feel surprised if he doesn’t know?

11. To govern with virtue is like Beichen, who lives in his place and is surrounded by stars.

12. To give, choose the thickest; to do things, lift them; to hold back, choose the thinnest.

13. Learning without thinking is in vain, thinking without learning is lazy.

14. Change it to listen to your words and believe in your actions, and observe your words and actions more carefully.

15. A country with a thousand chariots, respecting things and being trustworthy, being frugal and loving others, so that the people can take care of themselves.
