What is God-given is called nature; to follow nature is called Tao (the Way); to cultivate the way is called culture. Before joy, anger, sadness and happiness are expressed, they are called the inner self; when they are expressed to the proper degree, they are called harmony. The inner self is the correct foundation of the world, and the harmony is the illustrious Way. When a man has achieved the inner self and harmony, the heaven and earth are orderly and the myriad of things are nourished and grow thereby.
ConfuciusRate the task above the prize; will not the mind be raised? Fight thine own faults, not the faults of others; will not evil be mended?
ConfuciusAttack the evil that is within yourself, rather than attacking the evil that is in others.
