When the perfect order prevails, the world is like a home shared by all. Leaders are capable and virtuous. Everyone loves and respects their own parents and children as well as the parents and children of others. The old are cared for, adults have jobs, children are nourished and educated. There is a means of support for all those who are disabled or find themselves alone in the world. Everyone has an appropriate role to play in the family and society. Devotion to public duty leaves no place for idleness. Scheming for ill gain is unknown. Sharing displaces selfishness and materialism.

Even in killing men, observe the rules of propriety.

Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage.

He who rules by moral force is like the pole star, which remains in place while all the lesser stars do homage to it.

When music and courtesy are better understood and appreciated, there will be no war.

Recompense injury with justice, and recompense kindness with kindness.

Silence is the true friend that never betrays.
