Confucius was a Chinese philosopher, teacher and Politian who lived between 551 and 470
BC. 2500 years later his sayings, and others that are attributed to him, still ring true.
I had “Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.” taped on my bathroom mirror while building the website for Mirth in a Box. Here’s a few more quotes from good old Confucius:
- Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous.
- Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.
- Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do.
- Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.
- Forget injuries, never forget kindness.
- I hear, I know. I see, I remember. I do, I understand.
