Description

The superior man bends his attention to what is radical.

That being established, all practical courses naturally grow up.

Filial piety and fraternal submission,-are they not the root of all benevolent actions?

To rule a country of a thousand chariots, there must be reverent attention to business, and sincerity; economy in expenditure, and love for men; and the employment of the people at the proper seasons.

If a man withdraws his mind from the love of beauty, and applies it as sincerely to the love of the virtuous; if, in serving his parents, he can exert his utmost strength; if, in serving his prince, he can devote his life; if, in his intercourse with his friends, his words are sincere:-although men say that he has not learned, I will certainly say that he has.

Without an acquaintance with the rules of Propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.

Without knowing the force of words, it is impossible to know men.
