子曰:“学而时习之,不亦悦乎。有朋自远方来,不亦乐乎。人不知而不愠,不亦君子乎。”
The Master said, "Is it not pleasant to learn with a constant perseverance and application? Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters? Is he not a man of complete virture, who feels no discomposure though men may take no note of him?"
曾子曰:“为人谋,而不忠乎?与朋友交,而不信乎?传不习乎?”
The philosopher Tsang said, "I daily examine myself of three points:--whether,in transacting business for others,I may have been not faithful;--whether,in intercourse with friends,I may have not sincere;--whether,I may have not mastered and practised the instructions of my teacher.”
子曰:“不患人之不己知,患不知人也。”
The Master said, "I will not be afficted at men’s not knowing me,I will be afflicted that I do not know men.”
子曰:“温故而知新,可以为师矣”
The Master said, "If a man keeps cherishing his old knowledge,so as continually to be acquiring the new, he may be a teacher of others.”
子曰:“见贤思齐焉,见不贤而内自省也。”
The Master said, "When we see men of worth,we should think of equaling them,when we see men of a contrary character,we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.”
子曰:“默而识之,学而不厌,诲人不倦”
The Master said, "The silent treasuring up of knowledge;Learning without satiety,and instructing others withou being wearied.”
子曰:“……不义而富且贵,与我如浮云”
The Master said, "……Riches and honors acquired by unrighteousness are to me as a floating cloud.”
三人行,必有我师焉。则其善者而从之,其不善者而改之
The Master said, "When I walk along with two others, they may serve me as my teachers.I will select their good qualities and follow them,their bad qualities and avoid them.”
