Behave when away from home as though you were in the presence of an honored guest. Employ the people as though you were assisting at an important sacrifice. Do not do to others what you would not like yourself. Then there will be no feelings of opposition to you, whether it is the affairs of a state that you are handling or the affairs of a family.
ConfuciusThe faults of a superior person are like the sun and moon. They have their faults, and everyone sees them; they change and everyone looks up to them.
ConfuciusIf a man is not good, what has he to do with the rules of propriety? If he is not good, what has he to do with music?
