曾子曰，愼终追远，民德归厚矣。

Modern Chinese Guide

曾子说：谨慎办理父母的丧事，追念祭祀远代祖先，民风自然会归向厚道。

James Legge Translation

The philosopher Tsang said, "Let there be a careful attention to perform the funeral rites to parents, and let them be followed when long gone with the ceremonies of sacrifice;—then the virtue of the people will resume its proper excellence."
