It Is Not Possible For One To

To Put The World In Order, We Must First Put The Nation In Order; To Put The Nation In Order, We Must First Put The Family In Order; To Put The Family In Order; We Must First Cultivate Our Personal Life; We Must First Set Our Hearts Right.

The Gentleman Sees What Is Right While The Small Man Sees What Is Profitable.

When The Superior Man Eats He Does Not Try To Stuff Himself; At Rest He Does Not Seek Perfect Comfort; He Is Diligent In His Work And Careful In Speech. He Avails Himself To People Of The Tao And Thereby Corrects Himself. This Is The Kind Of Person Of Whom You Can Say, "he Loves Learning."

Listen Widely To Remove Your Doubts And Be Careful When Speaking About The Rest And Your Mistakes Will Be Few. See Much And Get Rid Of What Is Dangerous And Be Careful In Acting On The Rest And Your Causes For Regret Will Be Few. Speaking Without Fault, Acting Without Causing Regret: 'upgrading' Consists In This.

The Superior Man Acts Before He Speaks, And Afterwards Speaks According To His Action.
