    Confucius, Arthur Waley (1949). “The Analects of Confucius”, Routledge
  • The man of noble mind seeks to achieve the good in others and not their evil. The little-minded man is the reverse of this.

    Men  
    Confucius, William Edward Soothill (1910). “The Analects”, p.70, Courier Corporation
  • Heaven sends down its good and evil symbols and wise men act accordingly.

    Wise   Men  
  • To see and listen to the wicked is already the beginning of wickedness.

  • There are those men who say to repay evil with kindness. But I say, how then are we to repay kindness? Repay kindness with kindness, but repay evil with justice.

    Kindness   Men  
  • Attack the evil that is within yourself, rather than attacking the evil that is in others.

  • Return good for good; return evil with justice.

    Justice  
  • Yin and yang, male and female, strong and weak, rigid and tender, heaven and earth, light and darkness, thunder and lightning, cold and warmth, good and evil...the interplay of opposite principles constitutes the universe.

  • A blemish may be removed from a diamond by careful polishing, but evil words once spoken cannot be effaced.

  • When you locate good in yourself, approve of it with determination. When you locate evil in yourself, despise it as something detestable.

  • Rate the task above the prize; will not the mind be raised? Fight thine own faults, not the faults of others; will not evil be mended?

    Confucius (1909). “The Sayings of Confucius”
  • The small man thinks that small acts of goodness are of no benefit, and does not do them; and that small deeds of evil do no harm, and does not refrain from them. Hence, his wickedness becomes so great that it cannot be concealed, and his guilt so great that it cannot be pardoned.

    Men   Thinking  
  • Riches and honor are what everyone desires, but if they can be gained only by doing evil, they must not be held. Don't worry about not being in office, worry about qualifying yourself for office. Don't worry that no one knows you, but seek to be worthy of being known.
