"When things are investigated, then true knowledge is achieved;

When true knowledge is achieved, then the will becomes sincere;

When the will is sincere, then the heart is set right;

When the heart is set right, then the personal life is cultivated;

When the personal life is cultivated, then the family life is regulated;

When the family life is regulated, then the national life is orderly;

And when the national life is orderly, then there is peace in the world."

-Confucius
