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.

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.
