自天子以至于庶人,壹是皆以修身为本 From the emperor down to the mass of the people, all must consider the cultivation of the person the root of everything besides. -
大学之道,在明明德,在亲民,在止于至善。 What The Great Learning teaches, is — to illustrate illustrious virtue; to renovate the people; and to rest in the highest excellence. -
知止而后有定,定而后能静,静而后能安,安而后能虑,虑而后能得。 The point where to rest being known, the object of pursuit is then determined; and, that being determined, a calm unperturbedness may be attained. To that calmness there will succeed a tranquil repose. In that repose there may be careful deliberation, and that deliberation will be followed by the attainment of the desired end. -
物有本末,事有终始,知所先后,则近道矣 Things have their root and their completion. Affairs have their end and their beginning. To know what is first and what is last will lead near to what is taught in The Great Learning. -

其本乱而末治者否矣,其所厚者薄,而其所薄者厚,未之有也! It cannot be, when the root is neglected, that what should spring from it will be well ordered. It never has been the case that what was of great importance has been slightly cared for, and, at the same time, that what was of slight importance has been greatly cared for. -
欲治其国者,先齐其家。 Wishing to regulate their families, they first cultivated their persons. -
