子曰： 志士仁人，無求生以害仁，有殺身以成仁。
Confucius said: "A righteous man would not compromise ren [human-heartedness; benevolence] because he fears death, but would give up his life to uphold ren.
Did you know that in Taiwan and even increasingly in the Mainland, children actually do have to memorize and recite thousands of Confucian quotations? So, like, I actually know some of what Confucius did say.
