The Sayings Of Confucius

by Confucius

What I do not wish done to me, I likewise wish not to do to others.

golden rule

Tseng-tzu said, When a bird is dying his notes are [34]sad; when man is dying his words are good. Three branches of the Way are dear to a gentleman: To banish from his bearing violence and disdain; to sort his face to the truth, and to banish from his speech what is low or unseemly. The ritual of chalice and platter[75] has servitors to see to it.

So true

not to do unto others what we would not they should do unto us; to breed no wrongs in the state and breed no wrongs in the home.

Golden rule?

When not in office discuss not policy.

Wise words indeed

The Master said, Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change.
