「修身，齊家，治國，平天下」的英譯

China News )中有Dear Abby專欄，在1999年一月一日的專欄Promises for a New Year中有一段：

And as we begin this bright, shiny New Year, consider this inspirational Chinese proverb:

“If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character.

“If there is beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the home.

“If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation.

"When there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.”
