20092 always want your own way.

20093 Let 'em ask before taking action;

20094 That there be no slovenly sloppiness

20095 between goodman & wife.

20096 Gt. is gt. . Little is little;

20097 With friends one is one

20098 2 is 2

20099 Not to lie out of heedlessness

20100 let alone out of trickery

20101 Fitting the tone to their words

20102 as water goes over the mill-wheel.

20103 Dress 'em in folderols

20104 and feed 'em with dainties,

20105 In the end they will sell out the homestead.

20106 Taxes, for public utility,

20107 a share of a product,

20108 People have bodies

20109 ergo they sow and reap,


[Page 706]
20110 Soldiers also have bodies,

20111 take care of the body as implement,

20112 It is useful,

20113 To shield you from floods and rascality.

20114 Born of the blue sky and a wild cat

20115 Cloud in thunder and rain,

20116 Basalt, the stone gong

20117 "if," as Yao said: "you can keep these two lovelies

20118 in order!"

20119 You forget the timing of budgets

20120 that is to say you probably don't even know that

20121 Officials exist in time. You are fairly unconscious

20127 the k'ao ch'eng is according to harvest,

20128 the tax as a share of something produced.

20129 You can waste more on tips and wangles

20130 (Thiers a progress from Talleyrand,

20131 less brain and more morals)

20138 Thru the ten voices of the tradition

20139 the land has been ploughed

20140 t'ien2 ti4

20141 & there have been taxes in kind, and by (liang2) measure

20142 This is important

20143 as to the scope of such taxes

20144 all Courts have levied them

20145 the right pattern of levy is yang4 cheng1

20146 id est: for use

20147 not a fountain of folderols

20149 Wranglings won't get you out of it

20150 High & low, top & under

20151 INCORPORATE

20152 & one body.

20153 The ups are not malevolent,

20154 you might consider their complications;

20155 Dykes for flood-water,

20156 someone must build 'em;

20157 must plan 'em,

20158 By the ten mouths of the tradition:

20159 have peace

20160 Meaning get rid of criminality. Catch 'em!

20161 Ancestral spring making breed, a pattern

20165 The State is corporate

20166 as with pulse in its body
[Page 708]
20167 & with Chou rite at the root of it

20168 The root is thru all of it,

20169 a tone in all public teaching:

20170 This is not a work of fiction

20171 nor yet of one man:

20172 The six kinds of action, filial, reciprocal,

20173 Sincerity from of old until now,

20174 holding together

20175 Not shallow ill verbal usage

20176 nor in dissociations;

20177 Shallow prides, feeble dissociations,

20178 And spend their time slanting rumours;

20179 keep things off center slander and blabber-mouth;

20180 Rail; scold and ructions; manesco

20181 and the whole family suffers.

20182 The whole tribe is from one man's body,

20183 what other way can you think of it?

20184 The surname, and the 9 arts.

20185 The father's word is compassion;

20186 The son's, filiality.

20187 The brother's word: mutuality;

20188 The younger's word: deference.

20189 Small birds sing in chorus,

20190 Harmony is in the proportion of branches

20191 as clarity (chao1).

20192 Compassion, tree's root and water-spring;

20193 The state: order, inside a boundary;

20194 Law: reciprocity.

20195 What is statute save reciprocity?

20196 One village in order,

20197 one valley will reach the four seas.

20208 Can mean shortage,

20209 From of old the sovereign likes plowing

20210 & the Empress tends trees with reverence;

20211 Nor shrink from the heat of labour

20228 Don't burn to abandon production and go into trading,

20229 Dig up root to chase branches

20254 Precise terminology is the first implement,

20258 the straight history

20259 all of it candid.

20260 Be friends with straight officers

20261 chiao1 communicate,

20262 They are your communications,

20263 a hasty chirrp may raise ruin.

20264 You, soldiers, civilians,

20265 are not headed to be professors.

20266 The basis is man,

20267 and the rectification of officers

20268 But the four TUAN

20271 Not from descriptions in the school house;

20272 They are the scholar's job,

20273 the gentleman's and the officer's.

20274 There is worship in plowing

20275 and equity in the weeding hoe,

20276 A field marshal can be literate.
