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

Things that are done, it is needless to speak about; things that have had their course, it is needless to remonstrate about; things that are past, it is needless to blame.

昔者天子有爭臣七人，雖無道，不失其天下...父有爭子，則身不陷於不義。故當不義，則子不可以不爭於父，臣不可以不爭於君。故當不義則爭之，從父之令，又焉得為孝乎？

The Master said, Study as though you could never catch up, [and if you did,] you would still be fearful of losing it.
