Confucius

“True goodness springs from a man’s own heart. All men are born good.”

“Things that are done, it’s needless to speak about… Things that are past, it is needless to blame.”

“Men’s natures are all alike; it is their habits that carry them far apart.”

“What the superior man seeks is in himself: what the small man seeks is in others.”

“Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.”

“Without knowing the force of words, it is impossible to know a man”
