Mozi’s famous sayings:
1. Nothing is more valuable than justice.
Warring States·Mozi "Mozi. Guiyi" Nothing is more valuable than justice.
2. Love each other and benefit each other.
Universal love: refers to loving all people equally, regardless of relative, high or low, rich or poor. Mutual benefit: help each other, seek welfare, and oppose competition and struggle. Mozi believed that all the disasters in the world arise from the "differentiation" between people, that is, the distance between people and the differences in mutual interests. Therefore, in order to eliminate the great harm in the world, we must adopt the method of "loving each other and benefiting each other".
3. Those who do not believe in their words will have no results in their actions.
4. What you say with your mouth must be done with your body.
5. The sweet well is about to be exhausted, and the wood is about to be cut down.
Warring States Period·Mozi's "Mozi·Relatives". Exhausted: exhausted, finished. Zhaomu: Arbor, tall trees. The general meaning of these two sentences is: sweet well water is easy to dry up, and tall trees are easy to be cut down. If the well water is sweet, there will be many people drinking it, so it will naturally dry up easily; if the tall trees have many uses, they will naturally attract heavy axes quickly.
It is a common phenomenon that the exposed rafters rot first. Mozi therefore advocated the idea of ??moderation, believing that "too much prosperity is difficult to maintain", which makes people settle in the middle and dare not stand out. This kind of traditional thinking is not advisable today.
6. When the righteous are at the top, the world will be in order.
The Warring States Period·Mozi's "Mozi·Fei Ming Shang" states that if moral people are in power, the world will surely be peaceful and stable. It explains that the king in power should implement "righteous government" and his actions must be in line with "morality", so that the country can be stable. Righteous person: A person who upholds morality.
