>Whole book is about respect. >Whole comments section is disrespect. Great job, folks. Keep representing that superior 21st century morality for all of subsequent history. You make us all look so very wise.
It is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get. -Confucius
The introduction was read from a man who has a marvelous clear voice. I thought this is such a blessing. And then the reading began with an unpleasant voice of a woman that I could barely understand.
This is amazing with hard work! Thank you all for making this classic literary works for free! This helps us to appreciate Chinese literature and culture at the comfort of our fingertips.
I'm as interested in the people that listen and try to put into practice things like this as the sage who wrote it :) This is awesome thanks for the reading and putting this in the public
These sayings are my personal favourites: Book I, 2. Yu-tzu said: "A dutiful son and brother is seldom fond of thwarting those over him: a man unwilling to thwart those over him is never given to crime. A gentleman nurses the roots: when the root has taken, the truth will grow; and what are the roots of love, but the duty of son and brother?" Book I, 6. The Master said: "The young should be dutiful at home, modest abroad, heedful and true, full of goodwill for the many, close friends with love; and should they have strength to spare, let them spend it upon the arts." Book I, 8. The Master said: "Of a gentlemen who is frivolous none stand in awe, nor can his learning be sound. Make faithfulness and truth thy masters; have no friends unlike thyself: be not ashamed to mend thy faults." Book I, 9. Tseng-tzu said: "Respect death and recall forefathers, the good in men will again grow sturdy." Book I, 11. The Master said: "As long as his father lives a son should study his wishes; after he is dead, he should study his life. If for three years he do not forsake his father's ways, he may be called dutiful." Book I, 13. Yu-tzu said: "If promises hug the right, word can be kept: if attentions are bounded by courtesy, shame will be banished: heroes may be worshiped, if we choose them aright." Book I, 16. The Master said: "Not to be known should not grieve you: grieve that ye know not men." Book II, 3. The Master said: "Guide the people by law, subdue them by punishment; they may shun crime, but will be void of shame. Guide them by example, subdue them by courtesy; they will learn shame, and come to be good." Book II, 5. Meng Yi asked the duty of a son. The Master said: "Obedience." As Fan Ch'ih was driving him, the Master said: "Meng-sun asked me the duty of a son; I answered 'Obedience.'" "What did ye mean?" said Fan Ch'ih. "To serve our parents with courtesy whilst they live," said the Master; "to bury them with all courtesy when they die; and to worship them with all courtesy." Book II, 6. Meng Wu asked the duty of a son. The Master said: "What weighs on your father and mother is concern for your health." Book II, 13-14.Tzu-kung asked, What is a gentleman? The Master said: "He puts words into deed first, and sorts what he says to the deed." Book II, 16. The Master said: "Work on strange doctrines does harm." Book III, 7. The Master said: "A gentleman has no rivalries--except perhaps in archery; and then, as bowing he joins the winners, or steps down to see the loser drink, throughout the struggle he is still the gentleman." Book III, 17. Tzu-kung wished to do away with the sheep offering at the new moon. The Master said: "Thou lovest the sheep, Tzu: I love the rite." Book III, 18-19. The Master said: "Treat the king with all courtesy, men call it fawning." Duke Ting asked how a king should behave with courtesy to his ministers; how ministers should serve their king? Confucius answered: "A king should behave with courtesy to his ministers; ministers should serve their king faithfully." Book III, 26. The Master said: "Rank without bounty; ritual without reverence; mourning without grief, why should I cast them a glance?" Book IV, 2. The Master said: "Loveless men cannot bear need long, they cannot bear fortune long. Loving hearts find peace in love; clever heads find profit in it." Book IV, 3. The Master said: "Love can alone love others, or hate others." Book IV, 6. The Master said: "A friend to love, a foe to evil, I have yet to meet. A friend to love will set nothing higher. In love's service, a foe to evil will let no evil touch him. Were a man to give himself to love, but for one day, I have seen no one whose strength would fail him. Such men there may be, but I have not seen one." Book IV, 9. The Master said: "A scholar in search of truth who is ashamed of poor clothes and poor food it is idle talking to." Book IV, 14. The Master said: "Be not concerned at want of place; be concerned that thou stand thyself. Sorrow not at being unknown, but seek to be worthy of note." Book IV, 17. The Master said: "At sight of worth, think to grow like it. When evil meets thee, search thine own heart." Book IV, 22. The Master said: "Men of old were loth to speak; lest a word that they could not make good should shame them." Book IV, 23. The Master said: "Who contains himself goes seldom wrong." Book IV, 24. The Master said: "A gentleman wishes to be slow to speak and quick to act." Book V, 1. Of Kung-yeh Ch'ang the Master said: "A girl might marry him. In him was no crime, though he has been in bonds." He gave him his daughter to wife. Of Nan Jung the Master said: "When right prevails, he will not be neglected: when wrong prevails, he will escape law and punishment." He gave him his brother's daughter to wife. Book V, 9. Tsai Yü slept in the daytime. The master said: "Rotten wood cannot be carved, nor are dung walls plastered. Why chide with Yü?" The Master said: "In my first dealings with men, I hearkened to their words, and took their deeds on trust. Now, in dealing with men, I hearken to their words, and watch their deeds. I righted this on Yü." Book V, 13. Until Tzu-lu could carry out what he heard, he only dreaded to hear more. Book V, 15. Of Tzu-chán the Master said: "In four ways he was a gentleman. His own life was modest; he honoured the man whom he served; he was kind in rearing the people; he was just in his calls upon them." Book V, 19. Chi Wen thought thrice before acting. On hearing this, the Master said: "Twice, that is enough." Book V, 22. The Master said: "As Po-yi and Shu-ch'i never recalled past wickedness the foes they made were few." Book V, 25. As Yen Yüan and Chi-lu were sitting with him, the Master said: "Why not each of you tell me his wishes?" Tzu-lu said: "Carriages and horses I would have, and robes of fine fur to share with my friends, and would wear them out all free from care." Yen Yüan said: "To make no boast of talent, nor show of merit, were my wish." Tzu-lu said: "We should like to hear your wishes, Sir." The Master said: "To make the old folk happy, to be true to friends, to have a heart for the young." Book V, 27. The Master said: "In a hamlet of ten households there must be men faithful and true as I: why is there no one as fond of learning?" Book VI, 1. The Master said: "Yung might fill the seat of a prince." "And might Tzu-sang Po-tzu?" asked Chung-kung. "Yes," said the Master: "but he is lax." "To be lax in his claims on the people might be right," said Chung-kung, "were he stern to self; but to be lax to self and lax to others must surely be over-lax." The Master said: "What Yung says is true." Book VI, 2. Duke Ai asked which disciples were fond of learning. Confucius answered: "Yen Hui loved learning. His anger fell not astray; he made no mistake twice. By ill-luck his life was cut short. Now that he is gone, I hear of no one who is fond of learning." Book VI, 5. The Master said: "For three months together Hui's heart never sinned against love. The others may hold out for a day, or a month; but no more." Book VI, 9. The Master said: "What a man was Hui! A dish of rice, a gourd of water, in a low alleyway; no man can bear such misery! Yet Hui never fell from mirth. What a man he was!" Book VI, 10. Jan Ch'iu said: "Pleasure in the Master's path I do not lack: I lack strength." The Master said: "Who lacks strength faints by the way; thou puttest a curb upon thee." Book VI, 11. The Master said to Tzu-hsia: "Read to become a gentleman; do not read as the vulgar do." Book VI, 15. The Master said: "Who can go out except by the door? Why is it no one keeps to the way?" Book VI, 16. The Master said: "Nature outweighing art begets roughness; art outweighing nature begets pedantry. Art and nature well blent make a gentleman." Book VI, 19. The Master said: "To men above the common we may speak of things above the common. To men below the common we must not speak of things above the common." Book VI, 24. Tsai Wo said: "Were a man who loves told there is a man in a well, would he go in after him?" The Master said: "Why should he? A gentleman might be brought to the well, but not entrapped into it. He may be cheated; he is not to be fooled." Book VI, 25. The Master said: "By breadth of reading and the ties of courtesy a gentleman will also keep from error's path."

VERY POWERFUL WISDOM HERE; DEFINIITELY WORTH THE STUDY TIME REQUIRED. THE RESULTS FROM THIS KNOWLEDGE IS PLEASING, FUN, AND OFTEN OVERWHELMING IN THE MOST WHOLESOME OF WEIGHS. THINGS WILL COME TOGETHER FOR YOU!
***** Superficial yes, but damn off putting. How do I get the benrfit of the wise words, if I am not able to listen to them? I admit my objection to this person reciting these works, is because of my bias towards good delivery and pronounciation/annouciation. I suspect I might be able to get pass my bias and become more more minded, but, this requires me to fitst hear wise the words and be able to digest them.
can't believe all these comments below, all the complaining and btchin is clearly those that have no idea what they are talking about imo. you're all such trolls. :) Appreciate all your efforts Greatest Audio book. Keep it up.
Don't believe the people that find it hard to understand. Believe kubix kode, for he, and only he, knows what these people truly think. For this recording could not have been better. It is perfect the way it is and should never be improved upon.
+TACH In what way is Confucianism somehow wiser than religions? Also, Confucianism was preceded by Judaism and Hinduism and was contemporary with Taoism and Buddhism, while Christianity came just 500 years later, so no, it doesn't precede "modern religions" by 1000 years. The only major religion it precedes by that period of time is Islam.
When the woman started speaking, somehow, the interest to continue listening waned. But the learning is surely that although I have nothing personal against her, somehow, her pronunciation and tone of voice did have an impact on the senses and listening pleasure, albeit, in a very unfavourable distinction.
Book 5 #11 - "What I do not wish done to me, I likewise wish not to do to others" #14 Cultured man: "He was quick and loved learning; he was not ashamed to ask those beneath him, that is why he was called cultured" #15: On the ways of a gentleman #21...my young sons at home do not know how much pruning they still need! #25 The Master's Wishes: ...to be true to friends.... #26 I have met no one that can see his pwn faults.....
知+日=智(zhi) knowledge on top sun below, means radiant conscious intelligence. 丰+丰+手+心=慧 (hui) 2 harvests on top hand in middle mind below, means the harvest of deeper wisdom and ability for being aware of the unconscious or self-nature. 今+貝=貪 (tan) today or current moment on top treasure chest standing below, means greed. 奴+心=怒 (nu) slave on top mind below, means anger. 知+疒=痴 (chi) knowledge inside a sickbed, so knowledge lying on sickbed is ignorance and insanity.
there is something wrong with the world when the least among us are in the most influential positions, where being a backstabbing, manipulative scumbag is encouraged. I am a huge fan of Confucius and have read his analects but feel as though he missed out on addressing this issue
Wow...I am upset that the speaker changed. I don't care much for the second speaker. Her voice is horrible. This person is not a very good orator. She has no grasp of how to enunciate the words. No feeling or care for what she is reading.
wonderful spirit and message.......love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
"Confuses-us" shure was a bizzee feller thinkin up all them sayins thay put in them fortchun cookees!! I is mitee angree at that feller tho, cuz the last fortchun cookee sedd I had a "good suprize comin my way"...Then my Cuzzin Jasper recked my darn truck! That shure wernt "good" !! No wunder that Chineese feller was named "Confuses-us"!!
Why would you have someone with a thick accent read an audiobook in English? This was your best candidate? I can't understand half of what she's saying.
身體髮膚，受之父母，不敢毀傷，孝之始也。立身行道，揚名於後世，以顯父母，孝之終也。(Our bodies - to every hair and bit of skin - are received by us from our parents, and we must not presume to injure or wound them. This is the beginning of filial piety. When we have established our character by the practice of the (filial) course, so as to make our name famous in future ages and thereby glorify our parents, this is the end of filial piety.)
My favorite one so far is, "Study without thought is vain. Thought without study is dangerous."
you are good student. wonderful. l like it too.
I've come across that naturally within ny own thoughts

Great job, folks. Keep representing that superior 21st century morality for all of subsequent history. You make us all look so very wise.
you must be the narrator's family member or boyfriend.
How about to respect everyone's opinion
Relax and lower your expectations already.
You as well expressed the dark in your heart instead of light. Be the change you want to see... 🥰

Norman Kellison I hate this about librivox. some of the volunteers produce garbage narration.

You should go read the whole thing, preferably in an older Asian mans voice
bloody annoying
Red Proton who is the female reader? No good! Sounds like she has dentures or has caramel stuck on her teeth. I give up.

Thanks for posting this video
@Vox Stoica will narrate this masterpiece so beautifully.
A gentleman nurses the roots
When the root has taken the truth will grow

Great vid. Thank you very much
love this thnk you soooo much !! bless this world with your inner beauty and strength working towards the light.
don't be disappointed guys,,, its good work
That's why men is protector of women
Confucius say, "Man who go through turnstile sideways at airport going to Bangkok."
@nymersic - Lololool.....better luck next time.
It is very good book
Confucious say, "Man with hole in pocket, walk around feeling cocky all day"
love grows old, thats true
the whole teaching is golden
think its a good thing that this is common sense to me. brought up well, thanks mam.
I find it very easy to believe that this man mastered or was at the peak of mastering his mind and emotions
thank you for the reading. I appreciate it
i'm about to turn 21 and i am learning about this. Humm.. I'm a genius.
thank u 4 uploading this is tight
This is a poor tribute to a supposed wise man. This reading should be done by someone with a substantial voice and confident delivery.
***** Superficial yes, but damn off putting. How do I get the benrfit of the wise words, if I am not able to listen to them? I admit my objection to this person reciting these works, is because of my bias towards good delivery and pronounciation/annouciation. I suspect I might be able to get pass my bias and become more more minded, but, this requires me to fitst hear wise the words and be able to digest them.
Gottlieb Goltz A number of people have told me, I am special. I'm starting to believe it.
Shhh this is a library
Just stfu and enjoy the wording. Stop relying so much on delivery jeez
Plipo Gamez aren’t the readers of the audiobook volunteers?
can't believe all these comments below, all the complaining and btchin is clearly those that have no idea what they are talking about imo. you're all such trolls. :) Appreciate all your efforts Greatest Audio book. Keep it up.
Don't believe the people that find it hard to understand. Believe kubix kode, for he, and only he, knows what these people truly think. For this recording could not have been better. It is perfect the way it is and should never be improved upon.
I really respect this man.
Muslim.
This pre dates the modern religions by around 1000 years. And funnily is about 1000 times as wise.
+TACH In what way is Confucianism somehow wiser than religions? Also, Confucianism was preceded by Judaism and Hinduism and was contemporary with Taoism and Buddhism, while Christianity came just 500 years later, so no, it doesn't precede "modern religions" by 1000 years. The only major religion it precedes by that period of time is Islam.
Wow, I was Muslim!
Why is there a British guy reading the beginning then it switches to a Pinoy (Filipino) chick?
Ti Ng and wtf is she saying?
Sounds more like Indian
It appears to be read by volunteers. For better or worse.
Or maybe India girl ~
Ti Ng why does that matter? 👀
When the woman started speaking, somehow, the interest to continue listening waned. But the learning is surely that although I have nothing personal against her, somehow, her pronunciation and tone of voice did have an impact on the senses and listening pleasure, albeit, in a very unfavourable distinction.
Just say her accent is too strong it’s not that hard 😐
THE MASTER SAID.... 🗣️
fell asleep to youtube, woke up and this shit was on, fucking boredom woke me up
Enjoyed reading reading the comments more than listening to the audiobooks! 😃

If the tongue hath no fear, words are hard to make good.
Holy fuck! The advert on Islam that just came in really hits the nail on the head! Brilliant! Oh and the audios good to ;)
Words of Confucius is great. But Confucius was eating human flesh every day
Great stuff.

Need to have both Chinese and English captions.
Clear speech
Book 5 #11 - "What I do not wish done to me, I likewise wish not to do to others" #14 Cultured man: "He was quick and loved learning; he was not ashamed to ask those beneath him, that is why he was called cultured" #15: On the ways of a gentleman #21...my young sons at home do not know how much pruning they still need! #25 The Master's Wishes: ...to be true to friends.... #26 I have met no one that can see his pwn faults.....
i've got my marihuana plant with headphones listening to this
spanish spelling...
And it's "spelled" not spell
Confucius said : Man who retire for the night with itchy behind...will rise up with stinky fingers...I can attest to that .
Yes, but remember: your ego is your worst enemy!
Better to be wise than clever!
My only complaint is that the time codes in the description are incorrect.
知+日=智(zhi) knowledge on top sun below, means radiant conscious intelligence.
丰+丰+手+心=慧 (hui) 2 harvests on top hand in middle mind below, means the harvest of deeper wisdom and ability for being aware of the unconscious or self-nature.
今+貝=貪 (tan) today or current moment on top treasure chest standing below, means greed.
奴+心=怒 (nu) slave on top mind below, means anger.
知+疒=痴 (chi) knowledge inside a sickbed, so knowledge lying on sickbed is ignorance and insanity.
there some really amusing ones here
there is something wrong with the world when the least among us are in the most influential positions, where being a backstabbing, manipulative scumbag is encouraged. I am a huge fan of Confucius and have read his analects but feel as though he missed out on addressing this issue
Confucius say "Knickers not the best thing in the world - but next to it!"
The master said, "think about the words being said, not the speaker".
Wow...I am upset that the speaker changed. I don't care much for the second speaker. Her voice is horrible. This person is not a very good orator. She has no grasp of how to enunciate the words. No feeling or care for what she is reading.
wonderful spirit and message.......love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
If you could put any subtitle, I will very thank to you. Hopefully you could help .
why?? *****

Pls don't blame a 2500 year old teacher. It's modern people who practise these fortune cookies, not him.
Lv this !
BY THIS MAN COULD LIVE A LOT LONGER IF YOU WILL LISTEN LEARN AND LIVE?
Ohh confucious... you funny old man!! Ask so many rhetorical questions!!!
Beef Monster Munch are my favourites.
My own saying : It's mistaken to assume your enemies enemy is your friend, it is safer to assume your enemies friend is your enemy.
May wind of change bring bird of luck.
My God...
I thought I was going to have a good one 🙄
It’s like you see a picture of the food in the menu and when it arrives...... 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Why is she reading like this!?? What did I do? 😭
Why would you have someone with a thick accent read an audiobook in English? This was your best candidate? I can't understand half of what she's saying.
+カミニックス accent has nothing to do with language, it sound of english because it is english
i am not going to argue with you
don't feel hard done by
I can
Book : 26:42

Confucius say,"woman who fly plane upside down have nasty crack up!"

It’s sad how manny people only listened to the first few minutes
Yup I. Got to eight minutes, just because I'm reading comments.

I have found none who love good as much as women.
Sounds like a Filipino accent.
Only adult Filipino have that accent.
lol it's that little indian kid from Jessie!
besides the obvious with the audio, anyone notice the picture of a cockeyed Confucius?
The master said
Urgh. Not only is the voice annoying and depressing, the constant libravox interruptions are beyond annoying.
🙂🙂🙂
A dutiful son and brother is seldom fond of porking dose over him?a man unwilling to pork dose over him is never given to crime?Wha she say?
I'd love to have that accent
keep it up
身體髮膚，受之父母，不敢毀傷，孝之始也。立身行道，揚名於後世，以顯父母，孝之終也。(Our bodies - to every hair and bit of skin - are received by us from our parents, and we must not presume to injure or wound them. This is the beginning of filial piety. When we have established our character by the practice of the (filial) course, so as to make our name famous in future ages and thereby glorify our parents, this is the end of filial piety.)
Confucius say
You can all hold these fortune cookies
40 min. in & at book 5, O.o how many are there?!
HAIL CONFUCIUS!
You’re missing the point

Do not court shame

Confuscious said " Scooby Dooby Doo, where the fuck are you"!
