I already know how he influenced the East but I need a world wide influence. I have a debate in World History where I have to explain how Confucius is more influential than Hitler in World History because my opponent has Hitler. I think Hitler is much more Important in a world wide range but I need to win this debate so please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!|||He was the object of many jokes in the west. =(
Are there any Confucius quotes about the relationship between a husband and wife?
I need some ASAP!!! Thanks!|||I don't know of any marriage specific quotes, but these might work, depending on what you're using it for:
"It is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get."
"It is not failure of others to appreciate your abilities that should trouble you, but rather your failure to appreciate theirs."|||im sure there is. confucius always talked about life. but im no expert. ** SWEET MILDRED IS MY LEADER.. JOIN ME IN HER PLAYPEN ***|||'Man who fight with wife all day get no piece at night'
"A lion will not cheat on his wife, but a Tiger Wood!"

What was the importance of the concept of "Li" in the philosophy of Confucius?
The question speaks for itself.
Thank you in advance for you help.|||Li （理）is a concept found in Neo-Confucian Chinese philosophy. It refers to the underlying intelligence and order of nature as reflected in its organic forms.
It may be translated as rational principle or law. It was central to Zhu Xi's integration of Buddhism into Confucianism. Zhu Xi held that li, together with qi (氣: vital, material force), depend on each other to create structures of nature and matter. The sum of li is the Taiji.
This idea resembles the Buddhist notion of li, which also means principle. Zhu Xi maintained, however, that his notion is found in I Ching (Book of Changes), a classic source of Chinese philosophy. Zhu Xi's school came to be known as the School of Li, which is comparable to rationalism. To an even greater extent than Confucius, Zhu Xi had a naturalistic world-view. His world-view contained two primary ideas: qi and li. Zhu Xi further believed that the conduct of the two of these took places according to Tai Ji.
Holding to Confucius and Mencius' conception of humanity as innately good, Zhu Xi articulated an understanding of li as the basic pattern of the universe, stating that it was by understanding these principles that one could live with li and live an exemplary life. In this sense, li according to Zhu Xi is often seen as similar to the [Dao] in Daoism or to [telos] in Platonic philosophy. Wang Yangming, a philosopher who opposed Zhu Xi's ideas, held that li was to be found not in the world but within oneself. Wang Yangming was thus more of an idealist with a different epistemic approach.

Confucius taught that the emperor was assigned by the gods. What was this assignment called?
The Mandate of Heaven
The Mandate of the Gods
The Prophetization
The Supreme Choice ?|||The Mandate of Heaven|||The Mandate of Heaven (澶╁懡 P墨ny墨n: Ti膩nm矛ng) is a traditional Chinese philosophical concept concerning the legitimacy of rulers. Heaven would bless the authority of a just ruler, but would be displeased with a despotic ruler and would withdraw its mandate. The Mandate of Heaven would then transfer to those who would rule best.
