Analects

The Analects is the most authoritative book known of the sayings attributed to Confucius.

(As Baha'is do not view Confucius as a Prophet (nor did he at all claim to be), but rather as a great moral reformer, so the cross-references below are not meant to endorse every point he was to have made, and can even highlight differences (whether due to the exigencies of each time period or otherwise), but are meant to show the many similarities in the essential teachings of each.)
