The Wisdom of Master Kong - Confucius say..

Confucius was born September 28th and I thought it would be a nice reminder for all to commemorate and reflect on his wise words of Wisdom which have influenced not only his own society, but also our own.

"Master Kong," or Kong Qui better known as Confucius (Latin name) is believed to be born on September 28, 551 BC.

Confucius (551-479 BCE) was a great Chinese scholar and social philosopher, whose thoughts and teachings have profoundly influenced Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Japanese thoughts and life. His preaching’s have guided millions for over 2500 years.

Although familiar with the puns, we've heard them all, these ones are actual translations from Confucius himself.
