」孔子曰:「貞以幹之,敬以輔之。
Place yourself in the service of others without tiring.
待人無倦。
On meeting with men of quality, raise them to high position; on coming across petty people, send them on their way.
見君子則舉之,見小人則退之。
Do away with perverse thoughts and join loyally with others.
去爾惡心,而忠與之。
If you are assiduous and cultivate propriety, even those a thousand li away will be as near to you as brothers.
敏其行,修其禮,千里之外,親如兄弟。
若行不敏,禮不合,對門不通矣。」
If you are not assiduous and fail to cultivate propriety, you will be unable to affect even those who dwell directly by your gate.
