Confucius was a Chinese thinker and social philosopher, whose teachings and philosophy have deeply influenced Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese and Vietnamese thought and life. His philosophy emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity. This list looks at some quotes by Confucius – all of which are as applicable to us today as they were when he wrote them in the fourth century BC.

quotes by Confucius

19. Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.

19. To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short.
