There are some with whom we may study in common, but we shall find them unable to go along with us to principles. Perhaps we may go on with them to principles, but we shall find them unable to get established in those along with us. Or if we may get so established along with them, we shall find them unable to weigh occurring events along with us.
ConfuciusSincerity is that whereby self-completion is effected, and its way is that by which man must direct himself.
ConfuciusThere is one single thread binding my way together...the way of the Master consists in doing one's best...that is all.
ConfuciusAll things are nourished together without their injuring one another. The courses of the seasons, and of the sun and moon, are pursued without any collision among them. The smaller energies are like river currents; the greater energies are seen in mighty transformations. It is this which makes heaven and earth so great.
Confucius
