The work of transforming the world requires one's own self-transformation. Only after knowing what to abide in can one be calm. Only after having been calm can one be tranquil... Things have their roots and branches... When the personal life is cultivated, the family will be regulated; when the family is regulated, the state will be in order; when the state is in order, there will be peace throughout the world... There is never a case when the root is in disorder and yet the branches are in order. (Wisdom, Confucianism, p133-4)
