One of the most influential thinkers of all time. He lived durring the Spring and Autum Period, durring the decline of Zhou China. Confucius tried and failed to obtain political office in his lifetime, and his greatest legacy is in the Analacets which his diciples compiled after his death.

Confucius stresses a simple life of filial piety and devotion to ritual. Like most great thinkers, his ideas would eventually be mangled beyond recognition by those seeking traditional justification for misogyny, xenophobia and a number of other nasty concepts espoused by Neo-Confucianists.

Confucius said, "The gentleman is not a tool".

Confucious clearly saw the rise of A&F.

Cornfucius

One of the most quoted Iowa personalities of all time.
Cornfucius, whose name literally means "Master Corn,” lived 1901-1984 BCE. He was an American thinker and Iowa philosopher, whose teachings have deeply influenced U.S. thought and life. He presented himself as a "transmitter who invented nothing" and he really pointed out the importance of learning, which is one reason he is seen by people of the United States as "The Greatest Corn Master.”

Cornfucius says; "Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance of Corn."

Cornfucius says;"I hear Corn and I forget Corn. I see Corn and I remember Corn. I do Corn and I understand Corn."

Cornfucius says; "Everything Corn has beauty, but not everyone sees it."

Cornfucius says; "He that would perfect his Corn must first sharpen his tools."

Cornfucius says; "If you look into your own Corn, and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear?"
