Li) That what one disfavors, apply not to others. * On 'Brotherhood' (eight words in original, eight words as translated by Li) Within the fours seas, everyone is a brother. * On Confucius' 'Aspiration' (12 words in original, 9 as translated by Li) Comfort the elderly, confide in friends, caress the young * On the 'Importance of Words' (quoted from the Book of Poems, rhymed; as translated by Li, also rhymed): An imperfection in a white jade scepter, By grinding, can be restored to perfection; Any imperfection in words you utter, Is beyond restoration by any application. 286 pages, ISBN 0-9637852-8-1
