知止而後有定，定而後能靜，靜而後能安，安而後能慮，慮而後能得。

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.
