1. Confucius’ famous sayings about being kind and charitable

If you are so angry that you forget to eat, if you are happy you forget your worries, you don’t know that old age is coming...

Eat sparingly, drink water, bend your arms and rest your head on it, and enjoy it. Being rich and noble without justice is like a floating cloud to me.

Xianzai, come back! A basket of food and a ladle of drink, in a back alley, people can't bear to worry about it. Even if I return, I will not change my joy.

Xianzai, come back! It is not enough for a scholar to aspire to the Tao, but to be ashamed of those who wear bad clothes and eat bad food. Wealth and honor are what people want; if they don't follow the right path, they won't get it.

Poverty and lowliness are what people hate; if you don’t follow the right path, you won’t get rid of them. If you are rich and can be sought after, even if you are a man with a whip, I will do it.

If you can’t ask for it, just do what I like. Isn’t it great to have friends from far away? Think of righteousness when you see benefit, and give orders when you see danger.

Cultivation of oneself to bring respect... Cultivation of oneself to bring peace to others... Cultivation of oneself to bring peace to the people. You can support an orphan six feet away, you can send a life a hundred miles away, and you can't take it away on a big day.

A man with lofty ideals and benevolence will not harm his benevolence by seeking life, but will kill himself to achieve benevolence. The king died due to illness and his name was not known.

Those who are upright are upright and righteous. Observe words and colors, and consider the following people.

A gentleman is arrogant but not arrogant, and a villain is arrogant but not arrogant. It is easy for a gentleman to do things but it is difficult to say "pleasure". To say "pleasure" is not to follow the Tao and not to say "pleasure".

A gentleman's official duties are to act righteously. The son said that he was born.

"There are four ways of a gentleman: he behaves respectfully to himself, he is respectful in his conduct, he nourishes the people with kindness, and he makes people righteous." A gentleman is harmonious but different, and a villain is similar but not and.

A gentleman is reserved and does not fight, and he is a group but not a party. A gentleman is always in competition with others, but a villain is not always in competition with others.

A gentleman is magnanimous, but a villain is always worried. The benevolent do not worry, the wise do not be confused, the brave do not fear.

Acting with interests in mind leads to more resentment. If you seek benevolence and gain benevolence, why complain?

If quality is better than literature, then the country will be wild; if literature is better than quality, then history will be achieved. Be polite, then be a gentleman.

A gentleman seeks the road, not food,... A gentleman worries about the road, not poverty. How can we not care about the French language? Change it to expensive.

("Zhuan" removes the handle) If you talk to it, can you say nothing? It is precious. If I say it without interpreting it, and therefore without changing it, then I am no longer as good as I am.

Seeing the good is like exploring the soup. A gentleman respects the virtuous but tolerates others; he praises the good but is reserved.

It is not enough to be a scholar just because you care about your home! Life motto: If you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand up. Do to others what you don't want others to do.

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 all; when you see a virtuous person, you reflect on yourself. When three people walk together, 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 where 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 actions. This is true even in a barbaric country.

Is it okay to be dishonest in words and dishonest in deeds, even if you live in a state? He who behaves his own way with shame, sends troops to all directions, and does not disgrace the emperor's orders, 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 takes righteousness as a pledge, conducts it with propriety, develops it as a grandson, and fulfills it with faith.

What a gentleman! To make a mistake without correcting it is to make a mistake! If you pass, you will be afraid of making changes. Don't express your anger, don't make mistakes.

The 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 gain in sight.

If you want haste, you will not achieve anything; if you see small gains, you will not achieve great things. Scholars must be ambitious and have a long way to go.

Isn’t it important to be benevolent as one’s own responsibility? Isn't it just too far to die before oneself? If one's virtues are not promoted and his faith is not firm, how can he be able to exist or how can he be destroyed? When making friends, keep your word.

Use literature to make friends, and friends to help people. There are three friends who will benefit, and three friends who will harm you.

Friends who are straightforward, understanding, and 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 seek to be satisfied, and who has no desire to live in peace, who is sensitive to things and careful in his words, is Taoist and upright, and he can be said to be eager to learn.

Smooth words and bad morals. Clever words and beautiful words are fresh and benevolent.

Strongness, perseverance, woodiness, indifference and benevolence. Those who are virtuous must cultivate their words, but those who are eloquent do not need to cultivate their virtues.

Listen to what they say and watch what they do. You don't use your words to lift people up, and you don't use people to waste your words.

The ancients couldn’t say anything, and they couldn’t catch it in shame. A gentleman's name must be something that can be said, and what he says must be feasible. A gentleman must be unscrupulous 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 lose 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 like benevolence but don't learn, you will be a fool; if you like knowledge but don't learn, you will be a fool; if you like faith but don't learn, you will be a thief; if you like straightness but don't learn, then you will be blind; if you like courage but don't learn, then the cover will be chaotic; If you are stubborn and don't learn well, you will be blind and crazy.

Being respectful but rude will lead to fatigue, being cautious but rude will lead to turmoil, being brave but rude will lead to chaos, being straight but rude will lead to strangulation. To serve the king, respect his duties and then his food.

In terms of etiquette, harmony is the most valuable thing. Acting with interests in mind will lead to more resentment. 2. Ancient people who were charitable and charitable in history

Fifth Lun, whose compound surname is Fifth, whose given name is Lun, is from Shaanxi, and was a famous upright official in the early Eastern Han Dynasty. He is simple, upright, philanthropic, and considerate of the people. No matter where I am an official, I always take it as my duty to relieve the people's worries.

Wu Lun was honest and loyal when he was young. He was always eager to help neighbors and villagers who had difficulties. In the troubled times of Wang Mang, thieves were everywhere. The people relied on Wu Lun and elected him as their leader to resist the thieves. Fifth Lun led the people to build forts to defend themselves, but dozens of armies including Bronze Horse and Red Eyebrow failed to capture Fifth Lun's camp. Fifth Lun was praised by local officials and became an official in charge of litigation and taxation. He felt deeply the great responsibility and told his subordinates many times: "We hold this power, and every word and deed is related to the people's livelihood. We must not engage in corruption that harms the people." When the superior officials asked Wu Lun to collect more money, Wu Lun refused. He said righteously: "I am sorry that the people's livelihood is so difficult, how can I bear to take more money?"

When Wu Lun was the governor of Kuaiji, he was still as frugal as ever despite his high position. Wear commoners, eat brown rice, cut grass to feed the horses, and my wife goes to the kitchen to cook. Every time he received a salary, except for the food needs of his own family, all was given to the poor people. Poverty was his family motto and he did not buy any property. His friend advised him: "Everyone has his own destiny. How much can you save with your own efforts? How can you save everyone?" Wu Lun replied: "Just live up to this heart!" He His friend said: "It's not easy for you to be honest and self-reliant and not greedy or possessive. Why don't you buy a family property and leave something to future generations?" Wu Lun said with a smile: "You are rewarding me. I am giving it to future generations." People are so virtuous!"

In the position of prefect of Shu County, the fifth ethics is that most of the subordinate officials in the county government use their wealth to enter the official position. They pursue luxury and do not care about the people. Therefore, he resolutely eliminated and streamlined all such officials and replaced them with people with moral character and integrity. From then on, the trend of competing for bribes was banned. He also recommended many people of noble character to the imperial court, many of whom later rose to the rank of Jiuqing, and they were all honest and upright, and no one committed any crime of corruption or bribery.

The Fifth Lun is upright, does everything impartially, and never tries to please. At that time, the imperial relatives were dictatorial and domineering, and no one among the ministers dared to remonstrate. After Wu Lun was promoted to Sikong, he repeatedly wrote letters criticizing the evils of the times, demanding that his relatives be prevented from being arrogant and possessing power, and that people without virtue and talent should not be appointed to official positions. As a result, he offended many powerful people. Some of his colleagues advised him: "You value benevolence and righteousness, which is the virtue of a gentleman. But since you are an official in the court, you should be well versed in the ways of officialdom. If you don't understand the flexibility, you will regret it in the future." Fifth. Lun replied: "Benevolence is what I have been pursuing all my life. This is a great thing. How can I lose it all just to seek an official position? You think you mean me well, but you don't know my ambition!"

The fifth Lun was appreciated and trusted by Emperor Zhang of Han Dynasty, and he has been ranked as the third Duke ever since. He promoted education and did many good deeds to benefit the people, and became a person admired by the people. He said to others: "Benevolence is not something you can get by grabbing it. Having it is the foundation for adults to do things. I feel ashamed that I have done so few good deeds in my life, but the blessings I have received are unimaginable!" We can maintain good thoughts at all times, do good deeds unswervingly, consider others, and be truly responsible for ourselves. This is what each of us should remember.
