【第十章】【一節】子張問崇德、辨惑。子曰、主忠信、徒義、崇德也。【二
節】愛之欲其生、惡之欲其死、既欲其生、又欲其死、是惑也。誠不以富亦
祇以異。
【十一章】【一節】齊景公問政於孔子。【二節】孔子對曰、君君、臣臣、
父父、子子。【三節】公曰、善哉、信如君不君、臣不臣、父不父、子不子、
雖有粟、吾得而食諸。
CHAP. X. 1. Tsze-chang having asked how virtue was to
be exalted, and delusions to be discovered, the Master said,
'Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles, and be
moving continually to what is right;-- this is the way to exalt
one's virtue.
2. 'You love a man and wish him to live; you hate him and
wish him to die. Having wished him to live, you also wish him
to die. This is a case of delusion.
3. '"It may not be on account of her being rich, yet you
come to make a difference."'
CHAP. XI. 1. The Duke Ching, of Ch'i, asked Confucius
about government.
2. Confucius replied, 'There is government, when the
prince is prince, and the minister is minister; when the father
is father, and the son is son.'
3. 'Good!' said the duke; 'if, indeed; the prince be not
prince, the minister not minister, the father not father, and the
son not son, although I have my revenue, can I enjoy it?'
【十二章】【一節】子曰、片言可以折獄者、其由也與。【二節】子路無宿
諾。
【十三章】子曰、聽訟、吾猶人也、必也、使無訟乎。
【十四章】子張問政。子曰、居之無倦、行之以忠。
【十五章】子曰、博學於文、約之以禮、亦可以弗畔矣夫。
CHAP. XII. 1. The Master said, 'Ah! it is Yu, who could
with half a word settle litigations!'
2. Tsze-lu never slept over a promise.
CHAP. XIII. The Master said, 'In hearing litigations, I am
like any other body. What is necessary, however, is to cause
the people to have no litigations.'
CHAP. XIV. Tsze-chang asked about government. The
Master said, 'The art of governing is to keep its affairs before
the mind without weariness, and to practise them with
undeviating consistency.'
CHAP. XV. The Master said, 'By extensively studying all
learning, and keeping himself under the restraint of the rules
of propriety, one may thus likewise not err from what is right.'
