There is a Chinese proverb which states:
The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name.
This proverb is generally understood to be a summarization and paraphrase of an actual quote from the "Rectification of Names" section of the Analects of Confucius. (See Wikipedia - Rectification of names)
