“Zizhang asked, “What is keen discernment?” Confucius said, “When slanders that seep under the skin and grievances that cause pain do not drive you to an immediate response, you may be said to have keen discernment.”
Annping Chin, The Authentic Confucius: A Life of Thought and Politics

“Confucius, however, gave more attention to the nature of the ritual experience, which, he felt, could “take virtue to a higher state” if the skills learned from such an experience had enlivened and heightened awareness.”
Annping Chin, The Authentic Confucius: A Life of Thought and Politics

“If the impulse to act correctly did not come from yourself, Confucius said to a follower, what good could it do for you? In his mind, the moral was beautiful, and it should not succumb to rules. Rules diminish its beauty and subtlety, and adherence to them is an admission of one’s own moral failure.”
Annping Chin, The Authentic Confucius: A Life of Thought and Politics
