The Analects is an important Confucian classic, a work that records the quotations of Confucius and his disciples, and has had an extremely profound impact on our Chinese culture for more than two thousand years. Today, I will pick 20 famous quotes and share my learning with you.
1. Bowing to oneself and blaming others is far from resentful.
Be kind, blame yourself more when things happen, and blame others less, so that you will not incur resentment from others.
2. Don't say what you have done, don't advise you when you do it, and don't blame the past.
It is a foregone conclusion, and there is no need to say more about the things that cannot be changed. What has already been done, don't correct it anymore. The mistakes made in the past should not be pursued.
3. Not in his position, not seeking his own government.
If you are not in a position, don't participate in the affairs of that position, and do your part well.
4. Those who know are not as good as those who are good, and those who are good are not as good as those who are happy.
For learning, people who know how to learn are not as good as people who love learning, people who love learning, and people who take pleasure in learning.
5. In a three-person line, we will have our teacher, choose those who are good and follow them, and change those who are not good.
Anyone can be our teacher. He has a good side, and we learn from him; if he has a bad side, we reflect on ourselves and take it as a warning.
6, parents are here, not far to travel, travel must be good.
When the parents are alive, try not to go far away from the parents, away from the parents, if there is something that must go out, then be sure to settle the parents well, and tell the parents where they go and time, so that the parents can rest assured.
7. See the wise and think together, see the unwise and introspect within.
When we see a virtuous person, we must think of learning from him and looking up to him; when we see a person who is not virtuous, we must reflect on ourselves to see if we have the same problem.
8. Do not suffer from the ignorance of others, and do not know who also suffers.
Don't always worry about others not understanding yourself, you should worry about whether you don't understand others.
9. If you are not angry, if you are not angry, if you do not feel sorry, if you do not take a corner, if you do not commit a crime with three corners, you will not return.
Do not enlighten him until he especially wants to understand; do not enlighten him until he understands in his heart but cannot express it. If you can't do it, don't go down.
10. If a worker desires to do a good job, he must first use it.
No matter what you do, if you want to do it well, you must make adequate preparations.
11. A gentleman has nothing to eat and no food to eat, and he does not seek peace in his residence.
The virtuous Benye, a gentleman who is peaceful and happy, pays attention to learning and cultivation, and does not have too much pursuit of diet and living conditions.
12. Gentlemen are harmonious but different, and villains are the same but not harmonious.
To associate with gentlemen, even if they have different opinions, can also get along harmoniously; to associate with villains, although they echo with their voices, but their faces and hearts are not in harmony.
13. Learning from the past can be a teacher.
Review the knowledge you have learned, you can get new understanding from it, and you can integrate it, then you can be someone else's teacher.
14. His body is upright, and he does not act according to orders; his body is not righteous, although he does not obey orders.
Behave correctly, and if you don't have to give orders, others will do the same; if you misbehave yourself, even if you force others to do it, others will not obey.
15. If you study alone and have no friends, you are lonely and unheard of.
If you just make a car behind closed doors, learn by yourself and do not communicate with others, it will lead to narrow knowledge and lack of knowledge.
16 Virtue is not alone, but there will be neighbors.
A truly virtuous person will not be alone, and there will be like-minded people to accompany him.
17, shame is almost courageous.
Many people do the wrong thing, not ashamed, but proud. If you know shame, you are close to bravery, and the next step is to actively change it.
18. Passing without changing is an exaggeration.
If you can change it, you can do it well. If you know you've made a mistake, but you refuse to repent, that's the real mistake.
19. Man has no far-sighted worries, but will have near-term worries.
If there is no long-term consideration for people, there will often be immediate troubles.
20. A gentleman does not seek food, and a man who worries about the way does not worry about poverty.
A person who is truly learned and moral, who thinks about the country under the world, the thing he is most worried about is that the road under the world is not working, not the problem of living conditions, which is secondary.
