Confucius, the most famous of all the wise men of ancient China, profoundly influenced the moral and ethical codes of the Far East. The Sayings of Confucius, a Chinese classic, which has been woven into the fabric of Eastern life for over 2,000 years, has now been brilliantly translated by James R.Ware, Associate Professor of Chinese at Harvard University. This venerable book teaches the ageless virtues of all civilized men. Its dedication to truth and idealism makes this lively guide to right living as significant in today's world as it was many centuries ago.
