Analects are collections of relatively short written passages. The word analects is from Greek, and literally means collection or things gathered.

When the word is used without other explanation, it often refers to the Analects of Confucius. An example of a short piece in this collection is as follows:

The Master said, "It is by the Odes that the mind is aroused. It is by the Rules of Propriety that character is established. It is from Music that the finish is received."

Another set of writings that might be called analects is the book of Proverbs.
