The Analects of Confucius is a masterpiece of Confucius’ thoughts. It is still of practical significance in today’s society and is worthy of our understanding and careful appreciation. 1. If a person has no long-term worries, he must have immediate worries. If people do not consider the future, they will definitely have immediate sorrow. 2. The wise enjoy the water, the benevolent enjoy the mountains. Intelligent people love water, and virtuous people love mountains. 3. Don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you. Don't impose on others what you don't want. 4. When making friends, keep your word. When making friends, you must keep your word. 5. Gentlemen are harmonious but different; villains are harmonious but not harmonious. Gentlemen live in harmony but do not blindly follow others; villains live in harmony but cannot live in harmony. ? 6. The Master said on the river: The deceased is like a man! Don't give up day and night. The passing time is like this flowing water! The days and nights keep flowing. 7. It’s like cutting and discussing, like polishing. Improving one's self-cultivation is like carving jade or stone. It requires hard work. 8. If we have different ways, we will not seek each other. If you have different positions and opinions, there is no need to discuss and plan with each other. 9. Three hundred poems can be summed up in one sentence, saying: Thoughts are innocent. The 305th chapter of the Book of Songs can be summed up in one sentence: pure thoughts and no evil things. 10. When I was fifteen, I was determined to learn; when I was thirty, I was established; when I was forty, I was not confused; when I was fifty, I knew the destiny; when I was sixty, my ears were obedient; when I was seventy, I followed my heart's desires without going beyond the rules. Confucius said: "When I was fifteen, I was determined to learn. When I was thirty, I made achievements. When I was forty, I was not confused when I encountered difficulties. At fifty, I understood the laws of nature. At sixty, I could listen to different opinions. At seventy, I followed my heart and did whatever I wanted. Just do whatever you want, and you won’t go beyond the rules.” 11. You can become a teacher by reviewing the past and learning the new. Always review the knowledge you have learned, so that you can acquire new and deeper knowledge, so that you can become a teacher. 12. A gentleman does not compare himself with others, while a villain does not compare himself with others. A gentleman unites the masses but does not collude with each other; a villain forms cliques but does not unite the masses. 13. To know is to know, and to not know is to know. This is knowledge. Knowing means knowing, and not knowing means not knowing. This attitude is wise. 14. This is tolerable, but what is intolerable? Confucius said about the Ji family: "He danced in his courtyard with the emperor's dance lineup. This kind of thing can be tolerated, but what cannot be tolerated?" 15. Hearing the Tao and saying it by the way is the abandonment of virtue. Hearing rumors and spreading them without verification is abandoning morality. ? 16. If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening. It is worth knowing the truth clearly in the morning and dying at night. 17. Within the four seas, we are all brothers. The world is so big, you have friends wherever you go! 18. A gentleman is likened to righteousness, and a villain is likened to benefit. A gentleman understands morality and justice, while a villain understands self-interest. 19. When you see a virtuous person, think about them, and when you see a virtuous person, you should reflect on yourself. When you see a wise person, you should think of emulating him; when you see an unworthy person, you should reflect on yourself. 20. Being poor without resentment is difficult; being rich without arrogance is easy. It is difficult to be poor without resentment; it is easy to be rich without being arrogant. ? 21. Virtue is never alone, it must have neighbors. A moral person will not be isolated. There must be people close to him. 22. Rotten wood cannot be carved, nor can a wall of dung be demolished. To describe a person as being like rotten wood that can no longer be carved, like a dung wall that can no longer be painted, it usually means that you are disappointed with this person. 23. Listen to his words and watch his actions. When judging a person, you have to look at what he says and observe his words and deeds to fully understand. 24. Smart and eager to learn, and not ashamed to ask questions. Describes a person who is smart and eager to learn, and can ask for advice from people who are less knowledgeable than himself. 25. Think before you act. When encountering problems, always think three times before taking action. ? 26. If quality is better than literature, then we will be wild; if literature is better than quality, then history will be achieved. Be gentle and polite, then be a gentleman. If a person's inner simplicity is better than his external brilliance, he will appear rude, and if his external brilliance is better than his inner simplicity, he will be exaggerated and hypocritical. Only when literary talent and simplicity are combined properly can one become a gentleman. 27. Those who know 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. For any cause, those who know it are not as good as those who love it, and those who love it are not as happy as those who practice it. 28. Clever words and beautiful words are fresh and benevolent. People who talk sweetly and smile all over their faces rarely have a loving heart. 29. Knowing things silently, never getting tired of learning, never getting tired of teaching others, what is there for me? Keep knowledge in mind, never feel satisfied when studying, and never feel tired when teaching. What have I accomplished in these three aspects? 30. Being rich and noble without justice is like a floating cloud to me. Obtaining wealth through unjust means is as uncertain as floating clouds. ? 31. When three people walk, they must have my teacher: choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones. In a small group, there must be someone who can serve as a teacher. Choose his strengths to learn from him, and reflect on his shortcomings and correct them. 32. A gentleman is magnanimous, but a villain is always concerned. A gentleman is always open-minded and broad-minded, while a villain is always sad and sad. 33. Scholars must be ambitious and have a long way to go.

Those with ambitions must be open-minded and strong-willed, because the burden is heavy and the road is long
