Confucius -->
Guide people by edicts, keep them in line with punishments, and the common people will stay out of trouble but will have no sense of shame. Guide people by virtue, keep them in line with the rites, and they will, besides having a sense of shame, reform themselves...
To govern simply by statute, and to reduce all to order by means of pains and penalties, is to render the people evasive, and devoid of any sense of shame. " To govern upon principles of virtue, and to reduce them to order by the Rules of Propriety, would not only create in them the sense of shame, but would moreover reach them in all their errors
Five ethical commandments of Confucius
Jen, service of or doing good to others,
Yi, truthfulness,
Li, propriety, proper conduct, correct behavior,
Chih, knowledge, wisdom,
Hsian, trustworthiness.
Buddha’s Five Virtues
Do not kill,
Be truthful, do not slander or lie,
Take from none by greed or force or fraud, what is his own,
Have a clear mind, clean body, shun drinks, and drugs,
Touch not thy neighbor’s wife, neither commit the sins of flesh
Mohammed commands:
Slay none, God has forbidden it, except when justice requires it,
Avoid false words,
Woman and man who steals shall loose their hand,
Intoxicant’s are Satan’s own device,
They who avoid unlawfulness in sex, they only win success.

2nd ARC Ethics in governance ->>
If good behavior is consistently rewarded and bad behaviour consistently punished,
the bulk of the people follow the straight and narrow path. However, if good behavior is not only not rewarded, but is actually fraught with difficulties and bad behavior is not only not punished, but is often extravagantly rewarded, then
the bulk of the people tend to stray from the Honorable path.
Values without institutional support will soon be weakened and dissipated.
