從道不從君從義不從父
Follow the Way, Not the Ruler; Follow Duty, Not the Father
入孝出弟,人之小行也。上順下篤,人之中行也;從道不從君,從義不從父,人之大行也。
To be filial at home and respectful abroad — this is the minor conduct of a person. To be compliant to superiors and sincere to those below — this is the middling conduct. To follow the Way rather than the ruler, and follow duty rather than the father — this is the great conduct of a person.
