不食、終夜不寢、以思、無益、不如學也。
【卅一章】子曰、君子謀道不謀食、耕也、餒在其中矣、學也、祿在其中矣、
君子憂道、不憂貧。
【卅二章】【一節】子曰、知及之、仁不能守之、雖得之、必失之。【二節】
知及之、仁能守之、不莊以蒞之、則民不敬。【三節】知及之、仁能守之、
莊以蒞之、動之不以禮、未善也。
without eating, and the whole night without sleeping:--
occupied with thinking. It was of no use. The better plan is to
learn.'
CHAP. XXXI. The Master said, 'The object of the superior
man is truth. Food is not his object. There is plowing;-- even in
that there is sometimes want. So with learning;-- emolument
may be found in it. The superior man is anxious lest he should
not get truth; he is not anxious lest poverty should come upon
him.'
CHAP. XXXII. 1. The Master said, 'When a man's
knowledge is sufficient to attain, and his virtue is not sufficient
to enable him to hold, whatever he may have gained, he will
lose again.
2. 'When his knowledge is sufficient to attain, and he has
virtue enough to hold fast, if he cannot govern with dignity, the
people will not respect him.
3. 'When his knowledge is sufficient to attain, and he has
virtue enough to hold fast; when he governs also with dignity,
yet if he try to move the people contrary to the rules of
propriety:-- full excellence is not reached.'
【卅三章】子曰、君子不可小知、而可大受也、小人不可大受、而可小知也。
【卅四章】子曰、民之於仁也、甚於水火、水火吾見蹈而死者矣、未見蹈仁
而死者也。
【卅五章】子曰、當仁、不讓於師。
CHAP. XXXIII. The Master said, 'The superior man cannot
be known in little matters; but he may be intrusted with great
concerns. The small man may not be intrusted with great
concerns, but he may be known in little matters.'
CHAP. XXXIV. The Master said, 'Virtue is more to man

CHAP. XXXV. The Master said, 'Let every man consider
virtue as what devolves on himself. He may not yield the
performance of it even to his teacher.'
【卅六章】子曰、君子貞、而不諒。
【卅七章】子曰、事君敬其事、而後其食。

【卅九章】子曰、道不同、不相為謀。
【四十章】子曰、辭、達而已矣。
【四一章】【一節】師冕見、及階、子曰、階也。及席、子曰、席也。
