I do not want a friend who smiles when I smile, who weeps when I weep; for my shadow in the pool can do better than that.
ConfuciusThe hardest thing of all is to find a black cat in a dark room, especially if there is no cat.
ConfuciusIn ancient times, those who wished to illuminate the world with virtue first brought order to their nations. Wishing to order well their nations, they first harmonized their families. Wishing to harmonize their families, they first cultivated themselves. Wishing to cultivate themselves, they first rectified their minds. Those who wished to rectify their minds first made their intentions sincere.
