The Really Faithful Lover Of Learning Holds

To Rein A Kingdom Efficiently It Is Necessary, Before All, To Put Into Good Order The Family. It's Impossible For A Man Who Doesn't Know How To Lead His Own Family To Know How To Lead A Country.

A Man May Not Transgress The Bounds Of Major Morals, But May Make Errors In Minor Morals.

In Ancient Times, Those Who Wished To Illuminate The World With Virtue First Brought Order To Their Nations. Wishing To Order Well Their Nations, They First Harmonized Their Families. Wishing To Harmonize Their Families, They First Cultivated Themselves. Wishing To Cultivate Themselves, They First Rectified Their Minds. Those Who Wished To Rectify Their Minds First Made Their Intentions Sincere.

In Your Promises Cleave To What Is Right, And You Will Be Able To Fulfill Your Word.

Hold Faithfulness And Sincerity As First Principles.
