I was reading up for class when I came across something I thought you might find interesting.
Did you read a Chinese article about how Confucian scholars were polled to pick the top 5 Analects in line with the idea of achieving the cultural aspect for the Beijing Olympics?
In case you haven't, they are:
(translated roughly. you have to look them up in your book again)
1)有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎；
(With friends coming from distant lands, we are beside ourselves with joy)
2)四海之内皆兄弟也；
(Within the four seas, everyone are brothers)
3)己所不欲，勿施于人；
(Don't force upon others what you do not desire yourself)
4)德不孤，必有邻；
(It is not good to be alone; we need company)
5)礼之用，和为贵。
(Gifts, when used, are valuable)
