《大学》The Great Learning
知止而後有定,定而後能静,静而後能安,安而後能虑,虑而後能得。
When a man knows the point where to rest, and only then, will he have a fixed and definite purpose; with a fixed and definite purpose, and only then, will he be able to have calm and tranquillity of mind; with tranquillity of mind, and only then, will he be able to have peace and serenity of soul; with peace and serenity of soul, and only then, can he devote himself to deep, serious thinking and reflection; and it is only by deep, serious thinking and reflection that a man can attain the desired end--true wisdom.
