The Master said, “To study, and then in a timely fashion to practice what you have learned — is this not satisfying? To have companions arrive from afar — is this not a joy? To remain unrecognized by others and yet remain free of resentment — is this not the mark of the gentleman?”

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.
