Righteousness vs Advantage <- Confucius

14 Apr

Any time you see a talking head advocating "national interest" above what is right and good, remember this saying

The man of character cares about what is right,

the inferior man cares about his advantage.

— K’ung-fu-tzu, according to the Analects, 4.16 (225 BC)
