Confucius Delight Quotations

To know it is not as good as to love it, and to love it is not as good as to take delight in it.

To prefer it is better than to only know it. To delight in it is better than merely to prefer it.

They who know the truth are not equal to those who love it, and they who love it are not equal to those who delight in it.

A man of wisdom delights in water.

Wisdom delights in water; love delights in hills. Wisdom is stirring; love is quiet. Wisdom is merry; love grows old.
