CHAPTER
I. 1. The Master said, 'Is it not pleasant to learn with a constant
perseverance and application? 2. 'Is it not delightful to have
friends coming from distant quarters?' 3. 'Is he not a man of
complete virtue, who feels no discomposure though men may take no
note of him?'CHAP.
II. 1. The philosopher Yu said, 'They are few who, being filial and
fraternal, are fond of offending against their superiors. There have
been none, who, not liking to offend against their superiors, have
been fond of stirring up confusion. 2. 'The superior man bends his
attention to what is radical.That
being established, all practical courses naturally grow up. Filial
piety and fraternal submission!— are they not the root of all
benevolent actions?' CHAP. III. The Master said, 'Fine words and an
insinuating appearance are seldom associated with true virtue.' CHAP.
IV. The philosopher Tsang said, 'I daily examine myself on three
points:— whether, in transacting business for others, I may have
been not faithful;— whether, in intercourse with friends, I may
have been not sincere;— whether I may have not mastered and
practised the instructions of my teacher.'CHAP.
V. The Master said, To rule a country of a thousand chariots, there
must be reverent attention to business, and sincerity; economy in
expenditure, and love for men; and the employment of the people at
the proper seasons.' CHAP. VI. The Master said, 'A youth, when at
home, should be filial, and, abroad, respectful to his elders. He
should be earnest and truthful. He should overflow in love to all,
and cultivate the friendship of the good. When he has time and
opportunity, after the performance of these things, he should employ
them in polite studies.' CHAP. VII. Tsze-hsia said, 'If a man
withdraws his mind from the love of beauty, and applies it as
sincerely to the love of the virtuous; if, in serving his parents, he
can exert his utmost strength;if,
in serving his prince, he can devote his life; if, in his intercourse
with his friends, his words are sincere:— although men say that he
has not learned, I will certainly say that he has.' CHAP. VIII. 1.
The Master said, 'If the scholar be not grave, he will not call forth
any veneration, and his learning will not be solid. 2. 'Hold
faithfulness and sincerity as first principles. 3. 'Have no friends
not equal to yourself. 4. 'When you have faults, do not fear to
abandon them.' CHAP. IX. The philosopher Tsang said, 'Let there be a
careful attention to perform the funeral rites to parents, and let
them be followed when long gone with the ceremonies of sacrifice;—
then the virtue of the people will resume its proper excellence.'CHAP.
X. 1. Tsze-ch'in asked Tsze-kung, saying, 'When our master comes to
any country, he does not fail to learn all about its government. Does
he ask his information? or is it given to him?' 2. Tsze-kung said,
'Our master is benign, upright, courteous, temperate, and
complaisant, and thus he gets his information. The master's mode of
asking information!— is it not different from that of other men?'
CHAP. XI. The Master said, 'While a man's father is alive, look at
the bent of his will; when his father is dead, look at his conduct.
If for three years he does not alter from the way of his father, he
may be called filial.'CHAP.
XII. 1. The philosopher Yu said, 'In practising the rules of
propriety, a natural ease is to be prized. In the ways prescribed by
the ancient kings, this is the excellent quality, and in things small
and great we follow them. 2. 'Yet it is not to be observed in all
cases. If one, knowing how such ease should be prized, manifests it,
without regulating it by the rules of propriety, this likewise is not
to be done.' CHAP. XIII. The philosopher Yu said, 'When agreements
are made according to what is right, what is spoken can be made good.
When respect is shown according to what is proper, one keeps far from
shame and disgrace. When the parties upon whom a man leans are proper
persons to be intimate with, he can make them his guides and
masters.' CHAP. XIV. The Master said, 'He who aims to be a man of
complete virtue in his food does not seek to gratify his appetite,
norin
his dwelling place does he seek the appliances of ease; he is earnest
in what he is doing, and careful in his speech; he frequents the
company of men of principle that he may be rectified:— such a
person may be said indeed to love to learn.' CHAP. XV. 1. Tsze-kung
said, 'What do you pronounce concerning the poor man who yet does not
flatter, and the rich man who is not proud?' The Master replied,
'They will do; but they are not equal to him, who, though poor, is
yet cheerful, and to him, who, though rich, loves the rules of
propriety.' 2. Tsze-kung replied, 'It is said in the Book of Poetry,
"As you cut and then file, as you carve and then polish."—
The meaning is the same, I apprehend, as that which you have just
expressed.' 3. The Master said, 'With one like Ts'ze, I can begin to
talkabout
the odes. I told him one point, and he knew its proper sequence.'
CHAP. XVI. The Master said, 'I will not be afflicted at men's not
knowing me; I will be afflicted that I do not know men.'
