A wise man seeks by music to strengthen his soul: the thoughtless one uses it to stifle his fears.
ConfuciusThe shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is a straight line that passes directly through the center of a very large tree.
ConfuciusThe superior person tries to promote music as a means to the perfection of human culture. When such music prevails, and people's minds are led towards the right ideals and aspirations, we may see the appearance of a great nation.
ConfuciusI have never seen one who really loves goodness or one who really hates wickedness. One who really loves goodness will not place anything above it. One who really hates wickedness will practice goodness in such a way that wickedness will have no chance to get at him. Is there anyone who has devoted his whole strength to doing good for even as long as a single day? I have not seen anyone give up such an attempt because he had not the strength to go on. Perhaps there is such a case, but I have never seen it.
