motto
Confucius said, "The superior man has nine things which are subjects
with him of thoughtful consideration. In regard to the use of his eyes,
he is anxious to see clearly. In regard to the use of his ears, he is anxious
to hear distinctly. In regard to his countenance, he is anxious that it
should be benign. In regard to his demeanor, he is anxious that it should
be respectful. In regard to his speech, he is anxious that it should be
sincere. In regard to his doing of business, he is anxious that it should
be reverently careful. In regard to what he doubts about, he is anxious
to question others. When he is angry, he thinks of the difficulties his
anger may involve him in. When he sees gain to be got, he thinks of righteousness."
