[Also known as: "Summary of the Rules of Propriety Part 1"]

11 曲礼上:
夫礼者,自卑而尊人。虽负贩者,必有尊也,而况富贵乎?富贵而知好礼,则不骄不淫;贫贱而知好礼,则志不慑。
Qu Li I:
Propriety is seen in humbling one's self and giving honour to others. Even porters and pedlers are sure to display this giving honour (in some cases); how much more should the rich and noble do so (in all)! When the rich and noble know to love propriety, they do not become proud nor dissolute. When the poor and mean know to love propriety, their minds do not become cowardly.
