Confucius (551-479 BCE) was a Chinese philosopher and educator whose teachings have profoundly influenced Chinese culture and other East Asian countries. He was born Kong Qiu in the state of Lu (now Shandong Province, China). He emphasized personal and governmental morality, social relationships, justice, and sincerity. His ideas were compiled by his disciples into the Analects, which remains a cornerstone of Confucianism. Confucius is considered one of the most important and influential individuals in human history, advocating for virtues like filial piety and respect for elders.
He that in his studies wholly applies himself to labour and exercise, and neglects meditation, loses his time, and he that only applies himself to meditation, and neglects labour and exercise, only wanders and loses himself.
