עמוד 32 - In the way of the superior man there are four things, to not one of which have I as yet attained. — To serve my father, as I would require my son to serve me ; to this I have not attained...
עמוד 31 - The leaving virtue without proper cultivation ; the not thoroughly discussing what is learned ; not being able to move towards righteousness of which a knowledge is gained ; and not being able to change what is not good : — these are the things which occasion me solicitude.
עמוד 34 - Thus, when Heaven is about to confer a great office on any one, it first exercises his mind with suffering, and his sinews and bones with toil; it exposes his body to hunger, and subjects him to extreme poverty ; and it confounds his undertakings.
עמוד 37 - The filial piety of now-a-days means the support of one's parents. But dogs and horses likewise are able to do something in the way of support; — without reverence, what is there to distinguish the one support given from the other?
עמוד 32 - The way of the superior man is threefold, but I am not equal to it. Virtuous, he is free from anxieties; wise, he is free from perplexities; bold, he is free from fear.
עמוד 38 - In the most ancient times, there were some who did not inter their parents. When their parents died, they took them up and threw them into some water-channel. Afterwards, when passing by them, they saw foxes and wild-cats devouring them, and flies and gnats biting at them. The perspiration started out upon their foreheads, and they looked away, unable to bear the sight. It was not due to other people that this perspiration flowed.
עמוד 24 - In a time of good government he took office, and when confusion prevailed, he also took office. He said, "Heaven's plan in the production of mankind is this:- that they who are first informed should instruct those who are later in being informed, and they who first apprehend principles should instruct those who are slower in doing so. I am the one of Heaven's people who has first apprehended; - I will take these principles and instruct the people in them.
עמוד 24 - Te! when Thou hadst opened the course for the inactive and active forces of matter to operate, thy making work went on. Thou didst produce, O Spirit! the sun and moon and five planets, and pure and beautiful was their light. The vault of heaven was spread out like a curtain, and the square earth supported all on it, and all creatures were happy.
עמוד 37 - When parents are alive, they should be served according to propriety ; when they are dead, they should be buried according to propriety ; and they should be sacrificed to according to propriety : this may be called filial piety.
עמוד 35 - There is a nobility of Heaven, and there is a nobility of man. Benevolence, righteousness, self-consecration, and fidelity, with unwearied joy in these virtues ; — these constitute the nobility of Heaven. To be a kung, a k'ing, or a ta-foo ; — this constitutes the nobility of man.
