Summary: "The Sayings of Confucius" by Confucius is a philosophical text comprised of ethical teachings and ideas, written in the late 5th century BC. The text presents the thoughts and sayings of Confucius, focusing on morality, proper conduct, and the cultivation of virtue in both personal and social spheres.
