If I Do Not Participate

When Abroad, Behaveto Everyone As If Interviewing An Honored Guest; In Directing The People, Act As If You Were Assisting At A Great Sacrafice; Do Not Do To Others As You Would Not Like Done To Yourself: So There Will Be No Murmuring Against You In The Country, And None In The Family; Your Public Life Will Arouse No Ill-will Nor Your Private Life Any Resentment.

The Superior Man Is Satisfied And Composed; The Mean Man Is Always Full Of Distress.

Possessed Of Courage But Devoid Of Morality, A Superior Man Will Make Trouble While A Small Man Will Be A Brigand.

The Superior Man Is Slow In His Words And Earnest In His Conduct.

Respect The Gods, But Have As Little To Do With Them As Possible.
