Confucianism -> The Analects -> Tai Bo -> 2

The Master said,
"Respectfulness, without the rules of propriety, becomes laborious bustle;
carefulness, without the rules of propriety, becomes timidity;
boldness, without the rules of propriety, becomes insubordination;
straightforwardness, without the rules of propriety, becomes rudeness.
君子When those who are in high stations perform well all their duties to their relations,
the people are aroused to virtue.
When old friends are not neglected by them,
。」the people are preserved from meanness."
