Things that are done, it is needless to speak about...things that are past, it is needless to blame.
ConfuciusThe main object of conciliation lies in reaching a solution to a case based upon morals and with a warm heart.
ConfuciusLearn as though you would never be able to master it; hold it as though you would be in fear of losing it.
ConfuciusEvery piece of marble has a statue in it waiting to be released by a person of sufficient skill to chip away the unnecessary parts. Just as the sculptor is to the marble, so is education to the soul. It releases it. For only educated people are free people. You cannot create a statue by smashing the marble with a hammer, and you cannot by the force of arms release the spirit or the soul of people.
Confucius
