It looks like my work here is done

The Importance of Copy-Editing
If concepts are not correct, works are not finished;
if works are not finished, art and morality do not flourish;
if morality and art do not flourish, justice is not exact;
if justice is not exact, the country does not know where to lean.
Therefore one must not tolerate words not being in order.

-- Confucius
