Confucius
Ask to live well with values right:
Sound mind and heart live moral grounds;
Apply and dwell what esteem sights,
Grow a fond art in courteous rounds,
Embrace the rules of etiquette.
Choice marks the way of social skills,
Observe the fool to purge regret;
Nurture the spark of fine goodwill,
Focus and be a man of peace;
Use polite means to live your talk,
Calm and truly let respect please;
Inspire within that humble walk,
Urge the loyal soul with piety,
See the filial path laid wisely.
