Can you care for the people and rule the country and not be cunning?
Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Appetite for food and sex is nature.
Being a model to the world, eternal virtue will never falter in you, and you return to the boundless.
Do not look only at yourself, and you will see much. Do not justify yourself, and you will be distinguished. Do not brag, and you will have merit. Do not be prideful, and your work will endure.
All things such as grass and trees are soft and supple in life. At their death they are withered and dry.
