Tsze-lu / 13

子曰，苟正其身矣，于从政乎何有，不能正其身，如正人何。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：如果端正了自身，那么治理政事还有什么难的呢？如果不能端正自身，又怎么能去端正别人呢？

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "If a minister make his own conduct correct, what difficulty will he have in assisting in government? If he cannot rectify himself, what has he to do with rectifying others?"
