About This Quote

The Fur Person learned then and there that it is better to be a philosopher than to be a king and that, all things considered, wisdom was to be preferred to power. This quote was written by Mencius, a Chinese philosopher who lived around the 4th century B.C. The Fur Person took this advice and decided to become a philosopher instead of a king. He went on to prove his own position by becoming the most influential thinker in China for almost two hundred years. The Fur Person was not satisfied with being just another philosopher, but rather one of the most influential thinkers in China.
