What is God-given is called nature; to follow nature is called Tao (the Way); to cultivate the Way is called culture.

More quotes by Zisi

Such being the nature of absolute truth, it manifests itself without being seen; it produces effects without motion; it accomplishes its ends without action.

Therefore the moral man, even when he is not doing anything, is serious; and, even when he does not speak, is truthful.

What is God-given is what we call human nature. To fulfil the law of our human nature is what we call the moral law. The cultivation of the moral law is what we call culture.
