I am not one who was born in the possession of knowledge; I am one who is fond of antiquity, and earnest in seeking it there.
Study the past if you will define the future.
Ignorance is the night of the mind, but a night without moon and star.
Mens' natures are alike, it is their habits that carry them far apart.
What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others.
The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved.
When anger arises, think of the consequences
Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do.
It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop.
Respect yourself and others will respect you
He who excersizes government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it.
