Background informationQuotes and Proverbs on Education by ConfuciusConfucius was a teacher, scholar and minor political official whose commentary on Chinese literary classics developed into a pragmatic philosophy for daily life. Not strictly religious, the teachings of Confucius were a useful approach to social harmony and defined moral obligations between individuals and social systems. After his death his pupils collected notes on his sayings and doings and recorded them as the Analects. This collection was added to over the years, and many sayings attributed to him areprobably only loosely based on his teachings. His approach was formalized into a political and religious system during the Han Dynasty in the early part of the third century.(1) I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and understand.(2) Exploring the old and deducing the new makes a teacher.(3) To learn without thinking is labour in vain; to think without learning is desolation.(4) Knowledge is not equal to devotion. Devotion is not equal to joy.(5) R eal knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance.(6) When you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you do not know athing, to allow that you do not know it —this is knowledge.3.
