The Golden Rule of Confucius: Wish to Establish Yourself? Establish Others.

Confucius said: The man of virtue, wishing to be established himself, seeks to establish others.

Now the man of perfect virtue, wishing to be established himself, seeks also to establish others; wishing to be enlarged himself, he seeks also to enlarge others.

夫仁者,己欲立而立人,己欲达而达人。
