Today in our Story of the World history book me and my mom read about Confucius and Julius Caesar. Confucius was a Chinese Philosopher who taught how to be good and not to be mean to animals and bugs. Here are a few of his most famous sayings.
1. Do not unto others what you would not want others to do to you.
2. If you make a mistake and do not correct it, this is called a mistake.
3. It is the wiser person who gives rather than takes.
4. He who aims to be a man of complete virtue does not seek to gratify his appetite for food.
I'm sure everyone has heard of Julius Caesar. He was a Roman General and a dictator and was very power thirsty. When he was a young boy he was captured by pirates when he was crossing the Mediterranean Sea. He later came back as a General and executed them all! He later married Cleopatra, a female Pharoah in Egypt. the Senete of Rome didn't like this very much so they stabbed Julius to death. Caesars last words were Et Tu Brute which in latin means You to Brutus. (Brutus had once been Caesars freind).

According to Confucius, I cannot claim to be a man of complete virtue. I'm going to go eat something now.
