I saw a single row of characters with no punctuation:
忠美聖愛仁義利義好哀恕
I believe this is a proverb relating to Confucian values, but I can't break it into separate words.
Zhongmei (忠美) might be loyalty.
Sheng-ai (聖愛) is probably love between humans and gods.
Ren-yi (仁義) is compassion.
Li (利) might be benefit.
I can't even figure out the boundaries of the words, much less the grammar.
I would attempt to break it up as follows:
忠美圣 爱 仁义 利义 好哀恕
And from there we have something like:
The honest and virtuous sage loves benevolence, righteousness, morality, and justice [and here is where I am somewhat uncertain because of the many possible readings of 好] and readily sympathizes with and forgives others.
I think there may be a character missing. Like: 忠美圣 爱仁义 X利义 好哀恕
Or 利 might be 礼, like 忠美圣 爱仁义礼义 好哀恕
It's meaningless, just some words randomly put together. Nothing related to Confucianism.
