1.One belief Confucius often said was "It is as hard to be poor without complaining as to be rich without becoming arrogant"  which means how always in life money will overcome you.
2.One belief of Confucianism that he believed in was to learn to be a good person and to act with virtue, or goodness, in society.

3.Confucius believed you should always have strong relationships with family, community, state, and kingdom to ensure order and unity in your life and society.
4.For example one thing he believed was , when someone dies, a willow branch that symbolizes their soul is always carried behind them and everyone who knows them will continue to see willow branches around.Whenever someone dies a new object will symbolize them.
5.He beileved he cannot teach a man who can be taught, is to waste a man; to teach a man who cannot be taught, is a waste of words. The wise will lose neither men nor words." This saying was one reason this so called religion stayed alive out of the kind words he spoke.

I think that this quote means how for example it would be better to be great at swimming but not be great at swimming far distances, instead of being an average person.He means that is better to stand out and have weak spots in some areas then too just be like everyone else.This quote was said by Confucius.
