心能辨事非，处事方能决断；人不忘廉耻，立身自不卑污。
Only he can act decisively who can tell right from wrong;
One cannot be a despicable person who has a sense of shame.

心能辨事非，处事方能决断；人不忘廉耻，立身自不卑污。
Distinction between right and wrong is prerequisite for decisive actions,
A sense of shame is what keeps a person from behaving despicably.
