About Confucius

Confucius (traditionally 28 September 551 B.C. – 479 B.C.) was a Chinese social philosopher, whose teachings deeply influenced East Asian life and thought. "Confucius" is a latinization of the Chinese 孔夫子, Kong Fu Zi or K'ung-fu-tzu, literally "Master Kong", but he is usually referred to in China with a simpler version of this honorific as 孔子, Kongzi, or Kǒng Zǐ.

Additional quotes by Confucius

The Master said, “You [Zilu], do you know what I have been trying to teach you? To say that you know something when you know it and to say that you do not know something when you do not know it — this is true knowing [zhi].

子曰:「舜其大孝也與!德為聖人,尊為天子,富有四海之內。宗廟饗之,子孫保之。故大德必得其位,必得其祿,必得其名,必得其壽。故天之生物,必因其材而篤焉。故栽者培之,傾者覆之。《 詩 》曰:『嘉樂君子,憲憲令德!宜民宜人,受祿于天。保佑命之,自天申之!』故大德者必受命。」
