论语：
「吾日三省吾身
—
为人谋而不忠乎？与朋友交而不信乎？传不习乎？」
Each day I examine myself on three
things:
Whether or not I am
loyal to those on whose behalf I act?
Whether or not I am trustworthy in my
dealings with friends?
Whether or not I practice what is
taught?
「巧言令色，鲜矣仁！
」
Saying
flattering
words
and
showing
flattering
manners
are
seldom
associated
with
virtue.
贤贤易色；事父母
，能竭其力；事君，能致其身；与朋友交，言而有信。虽曰未学，吾
必谓之学矣。
If a man can attach importance
to his wife
’
s virtue, not
her features, treat his parents
with
filial
respect,
serve
his
lord
whole-heartedly,
and
carry
out
his
promises
when
dealing with friends, I would consider
him an educated man, though others may say he
has no schooling.
不患人不知己，患己不知人。
Confucius said,
“
A person should not care if
nobody knows about him. He should be
concerned about not knowing about
others.
”
父母在，不远游；游必有方。
Confucius said,
“
While parents are alive, we
should not travel too far
. If we have
to, we
must tell parents where we
go.
‖
不在其位，不谋其政。
Confucius said,
“
If a man is not holding a
certain position in the government, he should
not handle the political affairs which
belong to that position.
子曰
：
「学而时习之，不亦说乎？有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎？人不知而不愠，不亦君子
乎？」
Confucius
said,
“
Isn
’
t
it
a
pleasure
to
learn
and
practice
what
is
learned
time
and
again?
Isn
’
t it a
delight to have friends come from afar?
Isn
’
t
it gentlemanly to be unperturbed when not
appreciated by others?
”
学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。
Confucius said,
“
Learning without thinking
is useless while thinking without learning is
dangerous.
‖
温故而知新，可以为师也。
Confucius
said,
“
Constantly
reviewing
what
has
been
acquired,
and
continuing
to
acquire new knowledge, one may thus
become a
teacher
.
‖
君子不器。
A superior man can not be like a
utensil, which can be used for only one purpose
学而不厌，诲人不倦。
I am fond of learning new things and
never be satisfied. I like to teach other people
what
I have learned and I am never
tired of teaching.
三人行，必有吾师。择其善者而从之，其不善者而改之。
Confucius said,
“
Among
every three people I am with, one of
them can be my teacher.
I can at least
learn something from him. Learn the good
parts from him, and if he has
some bad part which I also have, I will
correct it.
‖
小不忍则乱大谋。
Confucius said,
“
If a man can not refrain
from a small matter
, he can ruin the
big plan
ahead.

吾
十有五而有志于学，三十而立，四十而不惑，五十而知天命，六十而耳顺，

The Master said,
“
At fifteen I set my heart
on learning; at thirty I took my stand; at
forty I came to be free from doubts; at
fifty I understood the Decree of Heaven; at sixty
my ear was atuned; at seventy I
followed my heart
’
s desire
without over-stepping the
line.

子曰：
―
富
与贵，是人之所欲也，不以其道得之，不处也；贫与贱，是人之所恶也，不
以其道得之，
不去也。君子去仁，恶乎成名？君子无终食之间违仁，造次必于是，颠沛
必于是。
”
（论语
·
里仁篇第四）
The Master
said,
“
Wealth and high
station are what men desire but unless I got them
in
the right way I could not remain in
them. Poverty and low station are what men
dislike,
but if I
can
’
t get rid of them in the
right way I would not try to escape from
them.
‖
If
the
gentleman forsakes
benevolence, in
what
way
can he make
a
name for
himself?
The gentleman never deserts
benevolence, not even for as long as it takes to
eat a meal. If
he hurries and stumbles
one may be sure that it is in benevolence that he
does so.

述而篇第七）
The Governor of She asked
Tzu-lu about Confucius. Tzu-lu did not answer. The
Master
said,
“
Why
did you not simply say something to this effect:
he is the sort of man who
forgets to
eat when he tries to solve a problem that has been
driving him to distraction,
who is so
full of joy that he forgets his worries and who
does not notice the onset of old
age?
‖
子曰：
―
恭而无礼则劳，慎而无礼则葸
，勇而无礼则乱，直而无礼则绞。君子笃于亲，
则民与于仁；故旧不遗，则民不偷。

（论语

泰伯篇第八）
The Master
said,
“
Unless a man has the
spirit of the rites, in being respectful he will
wear
himself
out,
in
being
careful
he
will
become
timid,
in
having
courage
he
will
become unruly, and in being forthright
he will become intolerant.
―When the
gentleman feels profound affection f
or
his parents, the common
people will
be stirred to benevolence. When he does
not forget friends of long standing, the common
people will not shirk their obligations
to other people.
”
子曰：

君
子有九思：视思明，听思聪，色思温，貌思恭，言思忠，事思敬，疑思问，
忿思难，见得

季氏篇第十六）
Confucius said,
“
There
are
nine things
the
gentleman turns
his
thought
to: to
seeing
clearly when he uses
his eyes, to hearing acutely when he uses his
ears, to looking cordial
when it comes
to his countenance, to appearing respectful when
it comes to his demeanor
,
to
being conscientious when he speaks, to being
reverent when he performs his duties, to
seeking advice when he is in doubt, to
the consequences when he is enraged, and to what
is right at the sight of
gain.
