論道德
陳立夫 ( 1900~2001 )

去私心，存公道，為道德之基本精神。
孝父母，敬長上，為道德之實踐始基。
不忘本，不忘恩，為道德之衡量標準。
言忠信，行篤敬，為道德之事實表徵。

The fundamental spirit of morality:
Eradicate selfishness, preserve justice.

The foundational practice of morality:
Be filial to your parents, respect elders and seniority.

The norms of morality:
Forget not your origins, nor those you are indebted to.

A true representation of morality:
Speak with honesty and truth.
