The Discourses, commonly known as the Analects, contain the sayings of the Sage as recorded by his disciples.

“‘The time,’ writes Dr Martin, ‘is not, I trust, far distant when the language of China will find a place in all our principal seats of learning, and when her classic writers will be known and appreciated. Nothing should tend more to hasten the advent of that time than the broad sympathy, informed with knowledge, which enables writers like Dr Martin to show how much of human interest attaches to “The Lore of Cathay.”’”—The Times.
