Riches and honor are what everyone desires, but if they can be gained only by doing evil, they must not be held. Don't worry about not being in office, worry about qualifying yourself for office. Don't worry that no one knows you, but seek to be worthy of being known.
ConfuciusThe superior man is anxious lest he should not get the truth; he is not anxious lest poverty should come upon him.
ConfuciusWhen you are laboring for others, let it be with the same zeal as if it were for yourself.
ConfuciusA person of character takes as much trouble to discover what is right as the lesser men take to discover what will pay.
Confucius
