也、躬行君子、則吾未之有得。 【卅三章】子曰、若聖與仁、則吾豈敢、抑為之不厭、誨人不倦、則可謂云 爾已矣。公西華曰、正唯弟子不能學也。 【卅四章】子疾病。子路請禱。子曰、有諸。子路對曰、有之、誄曰、禱爾 於上下神 祗 。子曰、丘之禱久矣。 CHAP. XXXIII. The Master said, 'The sage and the man of perfect virtue;-- how dare I rank myself with them? It may simply be said of me, that I strive to become such without satiety, and teach others without weariness.' Kung-hsi Hwa said, 'This is just what we, the disciples, cannot imitate you in.' CHAP. XXXIV. The Master being very sick, Tsze-lu asked leave to pray for him. He said, 'May such a thing be done?' Tsze-lu replied, 'It may. In the Eulogies it is said, "Prayer has been made for thee to the spirits of the upper and lower worlds."' The Master said, 'My praying has been for a long time.' 【卅五章】子曰、奢則不孫、儉則固、與其不孫也、寧固。 【卅六章】子曰、君子坦蕩蕩、小人長戚戚。 【卅七章】子溫而厲、威而不猛、恭而安。 CHAP. XXXV. The Master said, 'Extravagance leads to insubordination, and parsimony to meanness. It is better to be mean than to be insubordinate.' CHAP. XXXVI. The Master said, 'The superior man is satisfied and composed; the mean man is always full of distress.' CHAP. XXXVII. The Master was mild, and yet dignified; majestic, and yet not fierce; respectful, and yet easy. 泰伯第八 BOOK VIII. T'AI-PO. 【第一章】子曰、太伯其可謂至德也已矣、三以天下讓、民無得而稱焉。 CHAP. I. The Master said, 'T'ai-po may be said to have reached the highest point of virtuous action. Thrice he declined the kingdom, and the people in ignorance of his motives could not express their approbation of his conduct.' 【第二章】【一節】子曰、恭而無禮則勞、慎而無禮則葸、勇而無禮則亂、 直而無禮則絞。【二節】君子篤於親、則民興於仁、故舊不遺、則民不偷。 【第三章】曾子有疾、召門弟子曰、啟予 CHAP. II. 1. The Master said, 'Respectfulness, without the rules of propriety, becomes laborious bustle; carefulness, without the rules of propriety, becomes timidity; boldness, without the rules of propriety, becomes insubordination; straightforwardness, without the rules of propriety, becomes rudeness. 2. 'When those who are in high stations perform well all their duties to their relations, the people are aroused to virtue. When old friends are not neglected by them, the people are preserved from meanness.' CHAP. III. The philosopher Tsang being ill, he called to him the disciples of his school, and said, 'Uncover my feet, uncover my hands. It is said in the Book of Poetry, "We should be apprehensive and cautious, as if on the brink of a deep gulf, as if treading on thin ice," and so have I been. Now and hereafter, I know my escape from all injury to my person, O ye, my little children.'
