About Confucius’ famous aphorisms that “ideas are important” are as follows:

Be sensitive to things but cautious in words.

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

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

A gentleman is respectful and courteous to others. He is a brother in the world. He is loyal in words and respectful in actions. 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?

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

Confucius said: "He who can do the five things will be 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 takes righteousness as a pledge, conducts it with propriety, develops it as a grandson, and fulfills it with faith. What a gentleman!

The so-called sincerity of one's intention is not to deceive oneself, such as hating a bad smell or being lustful. This is called self-effacing, so a gentleman must be careful about his own behavior.

No desire for haste, no small gain 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 one does not uphold one's virtues and does not have a firm belief in one's faith, one can live or die.

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.

No one knows the evil of his son, nor the greatness of his seedling.
