 “To put the world right in order, 
we must first put the nation in order; 
to put the nation in order, 
we must first put the family in order; 
to put the family in order, 
we must first cultivate our personal life; 
we must first set our hearts right.”
 ~ Confucius

from both the parents and the children. 
Each member of the family has to become, 
in a special way, the servant of others.”
