Confucious quote on education

Reading a Confucious quote, (normally spelt Confucius) it is easy to see his view on education - not entirely unexpected since Confucious was reknowned as a teacher.

It is interesting that he advocates independent study and suggests that education is more than just book learning.

A gentleman who is not a greedy eater, nor a lover of ease at home, who is earnest in deed and careful of speech, who seeks the righteous and profits by them, may be called fond of learning.

Confucious on Education


All educated men are peers.

on Education


At fifteen I was bent on study; at thirty, I could stand; at forty, doubts ceased; at fifty, I understood the laws of Heaven; at sixty, my ears obeyed me; at seventy, I could do as my heart lusted, and never swerve from right.

Confucious on Education


By breadth of reading and the ties of courtesy a gentleman will also keep from error's path.

 on Education


Sit down that I may tell thee. The thirst for love, without love of learning, sinks into fondness. Love of knowledge, without love of learning, sinks into presumption. Love of truth, without love of learning, sinks into cruelty. Love of uprightness, without love of learning, sinks into harshness. Love of courage, without love of learning, sinks into turbulence. Love of strength, without love of learning, sinks into oddity.
