The Ambition of Confucius: A Vision of Universal Care

The Master said of his ambition: To give rest to the aged, sincerity to friends, and care to the young.

They are, in regard to the aged, to give them rest; in regard to friends, to show them sincerity; in regard to the young, to treat them tenderly.

老者安之,朋友信之,少者怀之。
