Confucius (551-479 BC). Chinese philosopher.

Famous quotes

"It is difficult for a man who always has a full stomach to put his mind to some use. Are there not players of liubo and weiqi? Even playing these games is better than being idle."

-- Analects? (Book 17, Chapter 22) by Confucius
(translated by [ext] Jean-Louis Cazaux)

"The Master said, Hard is it to deal with him, who will stuff himself with food the whole day, without applying his mind to anything good! Are there not gamesters and chess players? To be one of these would still be better than doing nothing at all."

-- Analects? (Book 17, Chapter 22) by Confucius
(translated by James Legge, [ext] Projekt Gutenberg)

Discussion

Frs: Could someone with knowledge of Chinese language (and weiqi and chess history) please proofread (and fix) the Gutenberg translation which seems to include encoded original Chinese characters.
