Available Wisdom from Confucius and Shakespeare re Korea and other things

Both the Koreas have a long history of shamanism, confucianism, quite a load of Catholicism in the missionary times, and both are avid researchers of Western Thought as well. They have everything they need to find a solution with each other and neither are mad, despite what the Americans say for their own quite sick hegemonic purposes.

"...In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of". Analects of Confucius.
 
"If you look into your own heart, and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear? " Confucius
 
Poor and content is rich, and rich enough.

- William Shakespeare

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
- William Shakespeare

...The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief.
- William Shakespeare

He who has injured thee was either stronger or weaker than thee. If weaker, spare him; if stronger, spare thyself.
- William Shakespeare
