Ceng Zi said, "I ask myself many times every day: Have I tried my best to do something for others? Is it honest and trustworthy to associate with friends? Have you reviewed the knowledge taught by the teacher? "
Confucius said: "I became interested in learning when I was fifteen." At the age of thirty, I can do things independently. At the age of forty, I don't have to be confused. At the age of fifty, I learned what human resources can't control. Sixty years old, I can listen to different opinions. Only when I am seventy years old can I do whatever I want without overstepping the bounds. "
Confucius said, "If you review what you have learned, you can get new knowledge and experience from it, so you can be a teacher by virtue of it."
Confucius said: "if you only study without thinking, you will be confused;" If you only dream about not studying, you will be confused. "
Confucius said, "How noble the quality of Yan Hui is! A basket of rice and a ladle of water, living in a humble alley, others can't stand this kind of poverty, but Yan Hui didn't change his interest in learning. How noble the quality of Yan Hui is! "
Confucius said: "people who know how to learn are not as good as those who like to learn;" People who like learning can't compare with those who enjoy learning. "
Confucius said, "Eat coarse grains all day, drink cold water, bend your arms as a pillow and enjoy yourself." I regard the wealth obtained by improper means as a cloud in the sky. "
Confucius said, "When many people walk together, one of them will be my teacher. I choose his good aspects to learn from him. When I see his bad aspects, I will correct my shortcomings for myself. "
Confucius sighed by the river: "Time is like running water, day and night."
Confucius said, "The commander-in-chief of the three armed forces can be changed, but the ambition of a man cannot be changed."
Xia Zi said: "I read widely and learn from others. I can stick to my ambition, ask questions seriously and think more about current events. Benevolence is one of them. "
