Confucius has influenced the way the Chinese live for more than 2000 years.

All around the school at Heze are signs that remind students of the proper ways to live.

This sign reminds students to keep their study area clean and organized.

Today we will be visiting the city of Qufu, where Confucius was born and started a school. Confucius (551-479 BCE) was a thinker, political figure, educator, and founder of a school of Chinese philosophy. He lived from 551 B.C. to 479 B.C.  Confucius has many quotations attributed to him. I have listed below some of my favorite quotes.

Zaijian,

Quotes attributed to Confucius

Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.

Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do.

Respect yourself and others will respect you.

Study the past if you would define the future.

To see what is right, and not to do it, is want of courage or of principle.

Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart.
