The Five Ancient Virtues of Humankind.

Humanity

Humanity is based on the gift of love, care and respect for all of humankind. It is the ability to do unto others what you would want them to do unto you.

Humanity is based on valuing the honour of others before your own.

It is the capability to be an upright and useful member of society.

Be a good human being, a warm-hearted affectionate person. That is my fundamental belief. Having a sense of caring, a feeling of compassion will bring happiness of peace of mind to oneself and automatically create a positive atmosphere. Dalai Lama.

Justice

Justice is the ability to judge right from wrong, not only in matters concerning the right and wrong of others, but more importantly, in matters concerning yourself. No matter how small it is, you should never do what you realise is wrong. Similarly, there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.

So act that your principle of action might safely be made a law for the whole world. Immanuel Kant.

Courtesy

Courtesy is the act of kindness and consideration for others. It is the foundation of all good manners and proper etiquette.

The best portion of a good man's life - his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love. William Wordsworth.

Wisdom

It is the attribute of knowing that we do not see things as they are, but see things as we are.

Without winter, there can be no spring. Without mistakes, there can be no learning. Without doubts, there can be no faith. Without fears, there can be no courage. My mistakes, my fears and my doubts are my path to wisdom, faith, and courage. Anon.

Trust

Trust is the ability to honour oneself and others. Without trust, a person loses all principles and integrity, and becomes a liar and a cheat. It is based on the principle of honesty and integrity.

This above all - to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as night follows day, thou canst not then be false to any man. William Shakespeare.
