More Quotes from Kung Fu-tzu Confucius:
I have never seen one who really loves goodness or one who really hates wickedness. One who really loves goodness will not place anything above it. One who really hates wickedness will practice goodness in such a way that wickedness will have no chance to get at him. Is there anyone who has devoted his whole strength to doing good for even as long as a single day I have not seen anyone give up such an attempt because he had not the strength to go on. Perhaps there is such a case, but I have never seen it.Kung Fu-tzu Confucius

Kung Fu-tzu Confucius
The nobler sort of man emphasizes the good qualities in others, and does not accentuate the bad. The inferior does the reverse.... The nobler sort of man pays special attention to nine points. He is anxious to see clearly, to hear distinctly, to be kindly in his looks, respectful in his demeanor, conscientious in his speech, earnest in his affairs. When in doubt, he is careful to inquire when in anger, he thinks of the consequences when offered an opportunity for gain, he thinks only of his duty.
Kung Fu-tzu Confucius
