Be upright and don’t talk about your own authority.

Fame and integrity are more important than Mount Tai, and desire for profit is lighter than a feather.

A wise person will not be confused, a brave person will not be afraid, a diligent person will not be poor, and an honest person will not be corrupt.

Be diligent to serve the people, be honest to cultivate virtue, be calm to clarify your ambitions, and be quiet to cultivate yourself.

Never forget the image of a public servant in every word and deed, and always think about the well-being of the people in every move.

If you serve the public wholeheartedly, you will not be surprised by favors and disgrace, and only when you have the breeze on your sleeves can you be upright and awe-inspiring.

Virtue is like an orchid deep in the mountains, silently fragrant; desire is like an ant on a long embankment, penetrating all the way.
