What I truly liked about the Analects is that its teachings are so influential, even to us today. The teachings in the Analects are still taught today, but differently, whether they be in expressions or common knowledge, or even by direct quotes to Confucius.
This work also seems to set or belong to a pattern of works like these that give their teachings, (The Bible, Koran, Other holy books/works) but do not obligate the reader to follow the teachings, simply pointing the direction in which they must go, but not forcing them to do so.
The greatest similarity I saw between the Analects and other works is the fact that the Analects enforces the idea of filial piety, and the bible states in the Exodus (I believe, for I'm not entirely sure) "Honor thy mother and thy Father" which is what Confucius teaches, in different words.
In essence I likeed the Analects because it only points the way. The embark on the journey, the motivaation must belong to you.
