Cultivate The Root; The Leaves And Branches

What The Great Learning Teaches, Is To Illustrate Illustrious Virtue; To Renovate The People; And To Rest In The Highest Excellence.

The Wise Are Free From Perplexities; The Virtuous From Anxiety; And The Bold From Fear.

Ask Yourself Constantly, "what Is The Right Thing To Do?" Behave Toward Everyone As If Receiving A Great Guest.

The Firm, The Enduring, The Simple, And The Modest Are Near To Virtue.

The Failure To Cultivate Virtue, The Failure To Examine And Analyze What I Have Learned, The Inability To Move Toward Righteousness After Being Shown The Way, The Inability To Correct My Faults-these Are The Causes Of My Grief.
