The Master said, "With sincere faith he unites the love of learning; holding firm to death, he is perfecting the excellence of his course.Go here to read the introductory post to this serialized version of the Analects of Confucius.
"Such a one will not enter a tottering state, nor dwell in a disorganized one. When right principles of government prevail in the kingdom, he will show himself; when they are prostrated, he will keep concealed.
"When a country is well governed, poverty and a mean condition are things to be ashamed of. When a country is ill governed, riches and honor are things to be ashamed of."
