Most Powerful Confucius Quotes That Will Change Your Perspective On Life. Many of them are universal and timeless in their beautiful and simple truth and they are as valid today as on the day they left Confucius' mouth. Translated by Leonard A. Lyall.
Confucius was born in the year 550 b.c., in the land of Lu, in a small village, situated in the western part of the modern province of Shantung. His name was K'ung Ch'iu, and his style (corresponding to our Christian name) was Chung-ni. His countrymen speak of him as K'ung Fu-tzu, the Master, or philosopher K'ung. This expression was altered into Confucius by the Jesuit missionaries who first carried his fame to Europe. Since the golden days of the Emperors Yao and Shun, the legendary founders of the Chinese Empire, nearly two thousand years had passed. Shun chose as his successor Yu, who had been his chief minister, a man whose devotion to duty was such that when engaged in draining the empire of the great flood -- a task that took eight years to accomplish -- he never entered his home till the work was done, although in the course of his labours he had thrice to pass his door.
