| The analects are translated by the brilliant writer, Thomas de Quincey. |
| Analects passages such as these made Confucius the model of courtliness and personal decorum for countless generations of Chinese officials. |
| His teachings, preserved in the lunyu or analects, form the foundation of much of the subsequent Chinese speculation on the education and comportment of the ideal man. |
| In the tenth book of his analects we get a glimpse of the habits of the philosopher. |
| However many other philosophers and religious figures have used analects to a lesser extent. |
| We turn to the analects of Confucius and we see the Chinese gentleman. |
