Pine, bamboo and plum blossoms are the three friends of the cold year; integrity and purity are the three essentials for an official.

The key to government is to win people. If you don't use your talent, it will be difficult to cure. Those appointed today must be based on virtue and knowledge.

When governing official affairs, one should not seek personal benefits, and in public affairs, one should not seek benefits.

If you are poor, don’t forget your skills; if you are rich, don’t forget the Tao.

Wealth can make people greedy, sex can make people addicted, fame can make people jealous, and power can make people dependent. Now that the four troubles have gone away, are they still in the dust?

Give up drinking, sex, and greed, and discipline yourself, your wife, and your children.

Be as fair as water in dealing with things, and be as honest as ice as an official.

Worry and labor can rejuvenate a country, and leisure can destroy one's life.

The gold cup and silver cup are not as good as the people's reputation; the gold and silver awards are not as good as the people's praise.

Those who are not self-respecting will be humiliated, those who are not self-disciplined will be in trouble, those who are not complacent will benefit, and those who are not self-sufficient will be knowledgeable.

Being able to endure poverty is better than blessing, being able to endure loneliness and maintaining integrity, being able to resist temptation and staying safe.

Making close friends is good for your business, but being close to a villain will harm your reputation.

Eating vegetable roots has a mild taste, but abiding by the law will not surprise you in your dreams.

Governance should be based on integrity, and serving as an official should be diligent.

Lotus means respect because of purity; official means integrity because of integrity.

Always be warned to distinguish between good and evil, beauty and ugliness, and a wise teacher can distinguish between right and wrong.

If one person is not honest, the whole family will not be harmonious.

Corruption is a precursor to disaster, while diligence is the source of happiness.

When fighting corruption, don’t care about the size of the matter, and advocating for integrity does not matter whether you are high or low.

Integrity creates happiness, greed is the root of disaster.

A greedy person is fearful and frightened, but his food is tasteless, while an honest person sleeps peacefully with an open mind.

When an official has personal interests, it is difficult to get justice, and when he is in politics, he does nothing and disobeys others.

If you are honest, the days will be like a day, and life will be easy; if you are greedy, the days will be like a year, and life will be difficult.

With the people in mind, advocating integrity is like a fish in water; keeping the purpose in mind, anti-corruption can sail smoothly.

Being honest and honest in politics will bring success to future generations. If you make a mistake while greedy for money, you will regret it in this life.

Happiness comes from purity, and trouble comes from greed.

The human heart is like a scale to determine who is less important and who is more important, and public opinion is like a mirror showing who is corrupt and who is honest.

When running for an official position, it is as soft as grass on a wall, bending in the wind and falling in the rain; taking root among the masses, it is as stable as a pine in a rock, prosperous in spring and evergreen in winter.

Birds in the sky die from gluttony, and fish in the water die from bait.

If a man sees benefits but does not see harm, he will be greedy; if a fish sees food but does not see its hook, he will perish.

Remuneration, whether high or low, is the result of the blood and sweat of the people. Even those with low status and high status are public servants of the people.

If an ant nest is not inspected, the embankment will collapse; if a small bribe is not refused, it will become a huge corruption.

If you are not corrupt in government, you will have a blue sky above your head; if you are not honest in government, your sword will be hanging high.

A virtuous person can prosper a family, and an honest person can avoid disaster.

Be fair in dealing with things and be fair-minded; be honest in self-discipline, beget authority; be sincere in dealing with others, beget trustworthiness; be diligent in work, and be effective.

A righteous mind means integrity, a righteous body means upright, and a righteous behavior means dignity.

Be honest as an official, diligent in politics, fair-minded in dealing with affairs, and be honest in life.

Don’t be greedy and take nothing from things that are not your own, and don’t take advantage of others’ selfish desires.

A wise man uses the painful lessons of others to warn himself; a fool uses his own heavy price to awaken others.

Being an official is a warning against being unclear, holding power against integrity is a warning against being unfair; handling affairs is a warning against being unfair, and being a person is a warning against being dishonest.

People are established with integrity, and businesses thrive by benefiting the people.

When an official, he always takes responsibility for the people and stands upright; when in power, he always plans strategies to enrich the people and acts calmly; when in power, he always abides by the rules of the law and sleeps peacefully.

Be public-minded and moral, be a public servant, be honest and serve the public, observe the people's sentiments, understand the people's concerns, satisfy the people's opinions, and serve the people diligently.

There is a self-cleaning lotus in the pond, which is spotless; there is no regret medicine in the world, so think twice.

Good conduct is like a pine tree proud of snow, greed is like an ant bursting through a dike.

If you work hard to cultivate virtue, you should respect yourself; if you are willing to be indifferent to stay poor, you should reflect on yourself; if you plan good deeds to benefit all living beings, you should encourage yourself.

A wise man serves as an official, shares the worries of the country, solves the problems of the people, dedicates his whole life, and lives a peaceful life; a fool works as an official, seeks wealth for himself, manipulates power for profit, and runs out of agencies, and will never find happiness forever.

A single thought of greed will damage one's own virtue, destroy oneself, and bring disaster to one's children; one's sleeves will be filled with breeze, and one's deeds will benefit the people and inspire the world.

Indifferent to fame and wealth, the breeze blows on the sleeves and the body is self-righteous; the right and the straight are clear, and righteousness is born in the chest.

The people are the parents of officials. Every porridge and rice should be remembered for their parents’ nurturing kindness; power is a public weapon of the people. In every move, do not forget the people’s public servants.
