君子主敬以直其内，

守义以方其外。

——程颐《周易程氏传》卷一《坤》

君子把恭敬之道作为主导，以使其内心正直；

又坚守正义，以使其外表端方。

“The man of virtue regards deference and respect as a fundamental principle, by means of which he transforms himself into an authentic human being of integrity and honesty. He holds onto righteousness, by means of which he renders for himself an erect posture and a majestic bearing.”

‘The Book of Changes’) by Cheng Hao
