"If language is not correct, then what is said is not what is meant; if what is said is not what is meant, then what must be done remains undone; if this remains undone, morals and art will deteriorate; if justice goes astray, the people will stand about in helpless confusion. Hence there must be no arbitrariness in what is said. This matters above everything." | Quote by: | Confucius [Kung Fu-tse] (551-479 B.C.) Chinese teacher, editor, politician, and philosopher |
