Confucius


The wise man’s defects are like the eclipses of the sun; they come to every one’s knowledge.	1
Justice is like the north star, which is fixed, and all the rest revolve about it.	2
Startle like a wound in the flesh.	3
Virtue is like the polar star, which keeps its place, and all stars turn towards it.	4
