Chapter seven. Confucius sayings about life and love
When morality is not improved, what they have learned is not repeated, when they hear about the principles of duty, they are not able to follow them, they cannot correct bad deeds, I grieve.
Noble people live in harmony with other people, but do not follow other people, low people follow other people, but do not live in harmony with them.
When the paths are not the same, do not make plans together.
The wise do not know worries, the humane does not know worries, the brave does not know fear.
A noble husband is serene at heart. The low man is always preoccupied.
People in ancient times did not like to talk a lot. They considered it a shame for themselves not to keep up with their own words.
People are afraid of poverty and obscurity; if both cannot be avoided without loss of honor, they should be accepted.
Silence is a great friend who will never change.
The sage is ashamed of his shortcomings, but not ashamed to correct them.
The noble husband blames himself; the little man blames others.
The only real mistake is not to correct your past mistakes.
If in man nature overshadows good manners, you get a savage, and if good manners eclipses nature, you get an expert on the scriptures. Only the one in whom nature and good breeding are in balance can be considered a worthy husband.
A noble husband should beware of three things in his life: in his youth, when vitality is abundant, beware of being attracted by women; in maturity, when the vitality is powerful, beware of rivalry; in old age, when vitality is scarce, beware of stinginess.
A noble husband thinks about the righteous path and does not think about food. He can work in the field and be hungry. He can devote himself to teaching - and receive generous rewards. But a noble husband worries about the righteous path and does not worry about poverty.
A noble husband is aware of his superiority, but avoids competition. He gets along with everyone, but does not collude with anyone.
A noble husband does not strive to eat his fill and live richly. He hastens in business, but hesitates in speeches. Communicating with virtuous people, he corrects himself.
In relationships with friends, advise them to do only what they are able to do, and lead them to good, without violating decency, but do not try to act where there is no hope of success. Don't put yourself in a humiliating position.
Give instructions only to those who seek knowledge when they discover their ignorance. Provide help only to those who do not know how to clearly express their cherished thoughts. Teach only those who are able, having learned about one corner of the square, to imagine the other three.
Even in the company of two people, I will certainly find something to learn from them. I will try to imitate their merits, and I will learn from their shortcomings.
A noble husband does not expect deception from anyone, but when he is deceived, he is the first to notice it.
It is enough for words to express meaning.
A worthy person does not follow in the footsteps of other people.
A noble husband values duty above all else. A noble man endowed with courage, but not knowing duty, can embark on a robbery.
For the people, philanthropy is more necessary than fire and water. I saw how they perished from fire and water, but I did not see that anyone perished from humanity.
A noble husband endures adversity. And a low man in trouble dissolves.
Blessed is he who knows nothing: he does not risk being misunderstood.
When out of the house, act as if you are receiving guests of honor. When using the services of people, act as if you are performing a solemn ceremony. Do not do to others what you do not wish for yourself. Then there will be no discontent neither in the state nor in the family.
Be hard on yourself and gentle on others. So you will protect yourself from human enmity.
In ancient times, people studied in order to improve themselves. Nowadays they study in order to surprise others.
In a country where there is order, be bold both in actions and in speeches. In a country where there is no order, be bold in your actions, but prudent in your speeches.
Virtue will not be left alone. She will definitely have neighbors.
A worthy person cannot but possess the breadth of knowledge and firmness of spirit. His burden is heavy, and his journey is long. Humanity is the burden he carries: is it heavy? Only death completes his journey: is it long?
If you have the opportunity to show mercy, do not even skip ahead to the teacher.
If you don't have bad thoughts, there will be no bad actions.
If a person is firm, decisive, simple and non-verbal, then he is already close to humanity.
A truly humane husband achieves everything by his own efforts.
Everyone can become a noble husband. You just need to decide to become one.
How can you deal with someone you can't trust? If the cart does not have an axle, how can you ride it?
How can we know what death is when we do not yet know what life is?
Young people should not be looked down upon. It is very possible that, having matured, they will become outstanding husbands. Only one who has not achieved anything, having lived to forty or fifty years, does not deserve respect.
When they proceed only from profit, they multiply anger.
When you do not know the words, you have nothing to know people with.
Observe the behavior of a person, delve into the reasons for his actions, take a closer look at him during leisure hours. Will he then remain a mystery to you?
Don't worry about people not knowing you, but worry about not knowing people.
Don't worry about not having a high rank. Worry about whether you deserve to have a high rank. Don't worry about not being known. Worry about whether you deserve to be known.
Don't complain about snow on your neighbor's roof unless your own threshold is cleared.
Do not have friends who would be inferior to you morally.
Not talking to a person who is worthy of a conversation means losing a person. And to speak with a person who is not worthy of a conversation means to lose words. The wise one loses neither people nor words.
There is no change only with the highest wisdom and the lowest stupidity.
Without knowing fate, one cannot become a noble husband. Without knowing what is due, one cannot find support in life. Without learning to understand the true meaning of words, you cannot know people.
Not having mastered the decency, you will not be affirmed.
Once Confucius was driving near the mountain. A woman sobbed loudly over the grave. Bending down in reverence on the front of the chariot, Confucius listened to her sobbing. And then he sent his disciple to that woman, and he asked her: - You are so killed - it seems that you are not grieving for the first time?
“So it is,” the woman replied. - Once my father-in-law died from the claws of a tiger. After that my husband died from them. And now my son has also died from them.
- Why don't you leave these places? Confucius asked.
“There are no violent authorities here,” the woman replied.
- Remember this, student, - said Confucius. - A cruel power is fiercer than a tiger.
There are three paths to reason before man: the path of reflection is the most noble; the path of imitation is the easiest; the path of personal experience is the hardest path.
Useful friends are a straightforward friend, a sincere friend, and a friend who has heard a lot. Harmful friends are a hypocritical friend, an insincere friend, and a chatty friend.
Try to be even a little kinder, and you will find yourself unable to do a bad deed.
By their natural inclinations, people are close to each other, but by their habits they are far from each other.
Visiting and listening to evil people is already the beginning of an evil deed.
Respect without knowing what is due turns into self-torture. Caution without knowing the proper turns into cowardice. Courage without knowing what is due turns into recklessness. Straightforwardness without knowing what should be done turns into rudeness. If the sovereign honors his parents, then ordinary people will be humane. If the master does not forget his old friends, then his servants will not be soulless.
A respectful son is one who grieves his father and mother, except perhaps with his illness.
To overcome oneself and return to what is due in oneself is what true humanity is. To be human or not to be - it depends only on ourselves.
It is beautiful where mercy is. Is it possible to achieve wisdom, if not to live in its edges?
When meeting a worthy person, think about how to catch up with him. When meeting a low person, look at yourself and judge yourself.
Three mistakes are made next to a noble husband: talking to him when words do not reach him is recklessness; not to speak when the words would have reached him is secrecy; and speaking without observing the expression on his face is blindness.
An angry person is always full of poison.
Only a truly human person is capable of both love and hate.
Only the wisest and the dumbest do not lend themselves to learning.
Anyone who, having lived to the age of forty, causes only dislike, is a finished person.
Someone who speaks beautifully and has an attractive appearance is rarely truly human.
He who cannot instruct his household for good cannot learn on his own.
He who learns without thinking will fall into error. He who meditates without wanting to learn will find himself in difficulty.
To respect every person as to ourselves, and to act with him as we wish to be treated with us - there is nothing higher than this.
The reserved person has fewer mistakes.
Learn as if you cannot gain and as if you are afraid of losing.
Master said, “My case seems to be hopeless. I have not yet met a person who, knowing about his mistakes, would admit his guilt to himself. "
Learn as if you constantly feel a lack of your knowledge, and as if you are constantly afraid of losing your knowledge.
To study and, when the time comes, to apply what has been learned to the work - isn't it wonderful!
To complain about an unpleasant thing is to double the evil; laughing at her is to destroy him.
Of all crimes, the most serious is heartlessness.
Sophisticated words destroy virtue. Intemperance in the little things will ruin a great cause.
Everyone makes mistakes based on their bias. Look at the mistakes of a person - and you will know the degree of his humanity.
Useful friends are a direct friend, a sincere friend and a friend who has heard a lot. Harmful friends are a hypocritical friend, an insincere friend, and a chatty friend.
The word must be right, the action must be decisive.
A perfect man seeks everything in himself, an insignificant one in others.

- Confucius- an ancient thinker and philosopher of the Celestial Empire. His teachings had a profound impact on the life of China and East Asia, becoming the basis of the philosophical system known as Confucianism. Though Confucianism often called a religion, it does not have the institution of the church, and for him questions of theology are not important. Confucian ethics are not religious. The ideal of Confucianism is the creation of a harmonious society based on the idea of devotion to parents, loyalty in the relationship between the boss and the subordinate. Confucius formulated golden rule of ethics: "Do not do to a person what you do not wish for yourself." Here are some of Confucius's sayings:

- Blessed is he who knows nothing: he does not risk being misunderstood.

- At fifteen, I turned my thoughts to study. At thirty, I became independent. At forty, I got rid of my doubts. At fifty, I knew the will of heaven. At the age of sixty, I learned to distinguish between right and wrong. At seventy years old, I began to follow the desires of my heart.

And the golden rule of his ethics sounded like this: "Do not do to another what you do not wish for yourself." His teaching found such a wide response among the people that it was accepted as an ideological norm at the state level, and it remained popular for almost 20 centuries.
His lessons are easy for everyone to understand - which is probably why they inspire so effectively:
- Three paths lead to knowledge: the path of reflection is the noblest path, the path of imitation is the easiest path, and the path of experience is the most bitter path.
- If you hate, then you have been defeated.
- In a country where there is order, be bold both in actions and in speeches. In a country where there is no order, be bold in your actions, but prudent in your speeches.
- Before you take revenge, dig two graves.
- Give instructions only to those who seek knowledge when they discover their ignorance.

- In fact, life is simple, but we persistently complicate it.
- Intemperance in the little things will ruin a great cause.
- Only when the cold comes does it become clear that the pines and cypresses are the last to lose their dress.
- People in ancient times did not like to talk a lot. They considered it a shame for themselves not to keep up with their own words.
- We take advice in drops, but we distribute it in buckets.
- A gem cannot be polished without rubbing. Likewise, a person cannot become successful without a sufficient number of difficult attempts.
- A noble person makes demands on himself, a low person makes demands on others.
- Bad habits can only be overcome today, not tomorrow.
- Three things never come back - time, word, opportunity. Therefore: do not waste time, choose words, do not miss the opportunity.
- Choose a job you like and you won't have to work a single day in your life.
- I am not upset if people do not understand me - I am upset if I do not understand people.
- Try to be even a little kinder, and you will see that you will not be able to do the wrong thing.

"It doesn't matter how slowly you go, as long as you don't stop."
If you keep going on the right path, you will eventually reach your goal. A person who achieves success is one who remains committed to an idea and, despite the circumstances, moves towards his goal, albeit slowly, but surely.“It's easy to hate and difficult to love. Many things in our life are based on this. Good things are hard to achieve, and bad things are much easier to get. "
This explains a lot. It is easier to hate, it is easier to show negativity, it is easier to make excuses than to love, forgive and be generous from a whole big heart, big mind and great effort.
- “Life expectations depend on diligence and diligence. A mechanic who wants to improve his work must first prepare his tools. "
Confucius said: "Success depends on preliminary preparation, and without such preparation, failure will surely happen." Whatever you do in life, if you want to be successful, you must first prepare. Even the biggest setback can accelerate the path to success.
- "It's okay if you're wrong."
It’s okay if you’re wrong if you don’t keep remembering it. Don't worry about trifles. Making a mistake is not a great crime. Don't let mistakes ruin your day. Don't let the negativity take over your thoughts. There is nothing wrong with making a mistake! Celebrate your mistakes!
- "When you are angry, think about the consequences."
Solomon said: "The long-suffering is better than the brave, and the one who controls himself is better than the conqueror of the city." Always remember to keep your composure and think about the consequences.
- "If it is obvious that the goals cannot be achieved, do not adjust the goals, adjust the actions."
If your goals don't seem feasible this year, then now is the best time to agree on your plan to achieve them. Don't take failure as an option, tune your success sails and move smoothly towards your goal.
“If I go with two other people, then each of them will act as my teacher. I will imitate the good features of one of them, and correct in myself the disadvantages of the other. "
You can and should learn from everyone, rogue or saint. Each life is a story filled with lessons ripe for collection.
- "Whatever you do in life, do it with all your heart."
Whatever you do, do it with full recoil or not at all. To be successful in life will require you to give the very best you can, and then you will live without regret.
- "Before you take revenge, dig two graves."
“People spend their health to make money and then spend money to restore their health. Thinking nervously about the future, they forget about the present, so they do not live either in the present or for the sake of the future. They live as if they would never die, and when they die, they realize that they never lived. "
- “Live as you want, and not as others expect of you. It doesn't matter if you meet their expectations or not, you will die without them. And you will win your own victories! "

Not talking to a person who is worthy of a conversation means losing a person. And speaking with a person who is not worthy of a conversation means losing words. The wise one loses neither people nor words.
There are three ways for a person to act reasonably: the first, the most noble, is meditation; the second, the easiest, is imitation; the third and most bitter one is experience.
The reserved person has fewer mistakes.
How can you deal with someone you can't trust? If the cart does not have an axle, how can you ride it?
A noble husband helps people to see what is good in them, and does not teach people to see what is bad in them. And the low man does the opposite.
Master said, “My case seems to be hopeless. I have not yet met a person who, knowing about his mistakes, would admit his guilt to himself. "
To respect every person as to ourselves, and to act with him as we wish to be treated with us - there is nothing higher than this.
If a person is firm, decisive, simple and non-verbal, then he is already close to humanity.
Even in the company of two people, I will certainly find something to learn from them. I will try to imitate their merits, and I will learn from their shortcomings.
An angry person is always full of poison.
It is not easy to meet a person who, having devoted three years of his life to the teaching, would not dream of taking a high post.
When meeting a worthy person, think about how to catch up with him. When meeting a low person, look at yourself and judge yourself.
-"Who can think deeply, speak simply and be truthful has a chance to become a perfect person."
Confucius' statements about education
Knowing the power of education, Confucius left his wisdom in quotes.
- "Study as if you constantly feel the lack of your knowledge, and as if you are constantly afraid of losing your knowledge."
- "Learning without thought is in vain, thought without learning is dangerous."
Confucius' aphorisms about God
- “The highest goal of human life is to find and implement in life the will of God, His law, that is, to manifest the true, moral essence of our self
The will of God is what we call the law of our lives. The fulfillment of the law of our life is what we call a moral, true life. When the laws of our life are collected in order, set out in sequence, this is what we call religion "
- "The true path, or the law of God, by which one should live, is not far from people."
- "If people create for themselves rules, laws, ways of life, which are far from the simplest reasoning of their mind, then these ways cannot be considered true"
How amazing, how wonderfully a person can unfold and manifest the heavenly gift inherent in him! We are looking for it and do not see, we listen and do not hear, but meanwhile this divine essence penetrates into everything that exists, nothing can be without it.

In different life situations, each of us needs good acting tips. And rightly so, if we get them from reliable sources, such as the statements of Confucius about a person. This sage from China lived for so long that it seems his sayings are outdated. But one has only to start reading the wise phrases of Confucius about life, and it is immediately clear that everything is still relevant and listening to these words brings undoubted benefit.
What did the philosopher teach? His wisdom was multifaceted. It embraced all aspects of a person's life: he talked about the purpose of the existence of people, about friendship and about love, how to look at mistakes of one’s and others, about happiness, about women and for women, revealed the secrets of raising children; work and attitude to work occupied an important place in his teaching.
All these important life issues still concern us and our contemporaries. Therefore, we present the most witty aphorisms and quotes from Confucius. The best collection that will guide you to a meaningful, happy life.
Meaning of life
Self-improvement, a person approaches the age-old wisdom of their ancestors. Passion and emotion rule people. This is what interferes with making the right decisions, which leads to curious consequences. Instead of striving for the best, they devote their lives to solving small issues.
The principle of Confucian teaching is to build a society of happy, unencumbered, wisest people who use their time and talents wisely. They are in harmony with each other and the Creator.
After reading the quotes of Confucius, you can radically change your life and your attitude towards it for the better. Just a few simple and aphoristic expressions can have a beneficial effect on the mood and look of a person.
In fact, life is simple but we persistently complicate it. If you hate- means you have been defeated. Tips we take in drops, but we distribute in buckets. Noble man makes demands on himself, a low person makes demands on others.Three things never come back back - time, word, opportunity. Therefore: do not waste time, choose words, do not miss the opportunity.
Noble at heart serene. The low man is always preoccupied. If they spit in your back, then you are ahead. Be hard on yourself and gentle to others. So you will protect yourself from human enmity. When you feel bad- listen to nature. The silence of the world is soothing better than millions of unnecessary words.About the meaning of love and friendship
It seems that the Chinese thinker understood absolutely everything. Talking about friendship, he showed how important it is to choose a friend in order to educate oneself, to set him as a model and cultivate only the greatest qualities in oneself: kindness and humility to imitate the best.
The eternal feeling of a loved one and a loving person gives strength, as Confucius quotes about love say. Affection and affection help to overcome serious difficulties, even such as poverty. It is this quality that motivates the pursuit of well-being. It also gives true joy.
I do not understand how one can deal with a person you can't trust? If the cart does not have an axle, how can you ride it?
When meeting a worthy person think about how to catch up with him. When meeting a low person, look at yourself and judge yourself. Even in the company of two people, I will certainly find what to learn from them. I will try to imitate their merits, and I will learn from their shortcomings. If someone wants to offend you a lot, then it is even worse for him. When people are together- no matter where their bodies are.How to look at mistakes
We are all wrong. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive the mistakes of others. But are we ready to forgive ourselves? Maybe it's better not to get hung up on miscalculations, because these are trifles, which mean little or nothing at all? And it's worth moving on!
From the philosophical position of the great thinker, any mistake is an experience that people acquire while they live. Should you be afraid to become wiser, getting out of a difficult situation? On the contrary, the ancient founder of the great teaching showed that the surest decision is to fix everything.
About happiness and goodness
Did Confucius get around the topic of happiness? No. After all, this is the ultimate goal that every person should strive for. His best quotes are just about finding harmony in the soul. It is impossible not to agree with the formula for happiness that the philosopher deduced. No one has ever spoken so simply and precisely about what makes us all truly happy. You need to go such a short path in order to achieve what you want, if you follow one of the author's most vivid expressions: to find those whom you will love and who will love and understand you. Happiness is when you are understood, great happiness is when you are loved, real happiness is when you love. The one who has the sun in his soul, will see the sun even on the gloomiest day. The Pursuit of Happyness sometimes you just need to stop and be happy. Seeing goodness in front of you, I run forward as if I'm afraid to fall behind. Seeing evil in front of me, I run away as if I stepped foot into boiling water. Work to clear your thoughts. If you don't have bad thoughts, there will be no bad actions. Forget grudges but never forget kindness. It's easier to light one little candle than curse the darkness. Try to be at least a little kinder and you will see that you will not be able to do the wrong thing.
About women
It would seem that Confucius about women does not reveal his respect for the weaker sex. He seems to laugh at them and their abilities, reproaches them for stupidity and gives them a too small and insignificant role in society.And at the same time, his concepts of harmony say that a person, whether a man or a woman, can achieve perfection. He has rights, and he deserves to be happy in his pursuit of perfection. That's just, you need to define your role in society and follow it.
Build relationships right the hardest thing is with women and low people. If you bring them closer to you, they will become untied, if you move them away from you, they will hate. Once, a lady who was very educated at that time came to visit Confucius. and asked him a question:- Tell me, Confucius, why when a woman has many lovers, then she is subjected to public censure, and when a man has many women, is it normal?
Before answering, Confucius silently brewed tea and poured it into six cups.
- Tell me, - he asked her after that, - when one teapot pours tea leaves into six cups, is it normal?
“Yes,” the woman replied.
- You see, - Confucius answered, - and when six teapots are poured into one cup at once? ...
About training and attitude to work
Probably, it would be correct to consider Confucius one of the famous teachers. At one time, he strove to introduce reforms into the education system. Comparing, and sometimes extolling, knowledge over material support, he called to educate not only the basics of science, but also to pay great attention to moral laws. And in learning to have the main goal - to teach children to be useful members of society, fit into its canons of striving for the best. He also instilled this in his disciples. But for each of us it would be informative to get acquainted with the theory of the great man, the founder of the doctrine, who is given the same great importance as religion. Choose a job you like and you don't have to work a single day in your life. When it’s obvious that the goal is unattainable, do not change the goal - change your plan of action. Whatever you do in life, do it with all your heart. The gem cannot be polished no friction. Likewise, a person cannot become successful without a sufficient number of difficult attempts. Run among the standing among those running - stop. In ancient times, people studied in order to improve yourself. Nowadays they study in order to surprise others.Each quote of the sage seems to glow with a distinctive aura that hovered over Ancient China. And at the same time, all his words are so close to us, modern people. This is especially evident from the words about work.
What is the secret of productive work? What gives a person a job to his liking? The scientist gave very accurate and relevant answers to these questions, which are useful to know. And we offer the opportunity to both read Confucius' aphorisms on the website and download them for free to use and send wise advice to friends.
