【廿三章】子曰、君子和而不同、小人同而不和。
【廿四章】子貢問曰、鄉人皆好之、何如。子曰、未可也。鄉人皆惡之、何
如。子曰、未可也。不如鄉人之善者好之、其不善者惡之。
【廿五章】子曰、君子易事而難說也、說之不以道、不說也、及
3. The Master said, 'This arises simply from not attending
to the prognostication.'
CHAP. XXIII. The Master said, 'The superior man is
affable, but not adulatory; the mean man is adulatory, but not
affable.'
CHAP. XXIV. Tsze-kung asked, saying, 'What do you say
of a man who is loved by all the people of his neighborhood?'
The Master replied, 'We may not for that accord our approval
of him.' 'And what do you say of him who is hated by all the
people of his neighborhood?' The Master said, 'We may not for
that conclude that he is bad. It is better than either of these
cases that the good in the neighborhood love him, and the bad
hate him.'
CHAP. XXV. The Master said, 'The superior man is easy to
serve and difficult to please. If you try to please him in any

可謂士矣、朋友切切偲偲、兄弟怡怡。
employment of men, he uses them according to their capacity.
The mean man is difficult to serve, and easy to please. If you
try to please him, though it be in a way which is not accordant
with right, he may be pleased. But in his employment of men,
he wishes them to be equal to everything.'
CHAP. XXVI. The Master said, 'The superior man has a
dignified ease without pride. The mean man has pride without
a dignified ease.'
CHAP. XXVII. The Master said, 'The firm, the enduring,
the simple, and the modest are near to virtue.'
CHAP. XXVIII. Tsze-lu asked, saying, 'What qualities must
a man possess to entitle him to be called a scholar?' The Master
said, 'He must be thus,-- earnest, urgent, and bland:-- among
his friends, earnest and urgent; among his brethren, bland.'
【廿九章】子曰、善人教民七年、亦可以即戎矣。
【三十章】子曰、以不教民戰、是謂棄之。
CHAP. XXIX. The Master said, 'Let a good man teach the
people seven years, and they may then likewise be employed
in war.'
CHAP. XXX. The Master said, 'To lead an uninstructed
people to war, is to throw them away.'
