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 replied, “The person who would wrestle a tiger bare-handed or march across the Yellow River,106 and who would go to his death without regret — this person I would not take along. It would have to be someone who would approach any situation with trepidation, and who would be fond of planning with an eye to success.
