Confucian Analects
"I wish to be virtuous, and lo! virtue is at hand." The Confucian Analects is a collection of sayings by K'ung Fu Tzu (Confucius) from the Chou dynasty era in China. Confucianism is an ethical system with rituals added at important times during one's lifetime, especially for birth, maturity, marriage, and death. The writings deal primarily with individual morality and ethics and the proper exercise of political power by rulers. This version of the Analects was translated into English by James Legge, and contains 20 books.
