Know the Truth

Image
Those who know the truth are not equal to those who love it. To know what you know and what you do not know, that is true knowledge. The superior man thinks always of virtue; the common man thinks of comfort. The man who asks a question is a fool for a minute, the man who does not ask is a fool for life.                                               Confucius

Confucius Quotes

When a person should be spoken with, and you don’t speak with them, you lose them. When a person shouldn’t be spoken with and you speak to them, you waste your breath. The wise do not lose people, nor do they waste their breath. Learn advidly. Question it repeatedly. Analyze it carefully. Then put what you have learned into practice intelligently. Confucius
