have had their course, it is needless to remonstrate about; things that
are past, it is needless to blame.' CHAP. XXII. 1. The Master said,
'Small indeed was the capacity of Kwan Chung!' 2. Some one said,
'Was Kwan Chung parsimonious?' 'Kwan,' was the reply, 'had the San
Kwei, and his officers performed no double duties; how can he be
considered parsimonious?' 3. 'Then, did Kwan Chung know the rules of
propriety?' The

have a screen intercepting the view at their gates. Kwan had likewise a
screen at his gate. The princes of States on any friendly meeting
between two of them, had a stand on which to place their inverted cups.
Kwan had also such a stand. If Kwan knew the rules of propriety, who
does not know them?' CHAP. XXXII. The Master instructing the grand
music- master of Lu said, 'How to play music may be known. At the
commencement of the piece, all the parts should sound together. As it
proceeds, they should be in harmony while severally distinct and
flowing without break, and thus on to the conclusion.'

warden at Yi requested to be introduced to the Master, saying, 'When
men of superior virtue have come to this, I have never been denied the
privilege of seeing them.' The followers of the sage introduced him,
and when he came out from the interview, he said, 'My friends, why are
you distressed by your master's loss of office? The kingdom has long
been without the principles of truth and right; Heaven is going to use
your master as a bell with its wooden tongue.' CHAP. XXV. The
Master said of the Shao that it was perfectly beautiful and also perfectly
good. He said of the Wu that it was perfectly beautiful but not perfectly
good. CHAP. XXVI. The Master said, 'High station filled without
indulgent generosity; ceremonies performed without reverence;
mourning conducted without sorrow;-- wherewith should I contemplate
such ways?'

constitute the excellence of a neighborhood. If a man in selecting a
residence, do not fix on one where such prevail, how can he be wise?'
CHAP. II. The Master said, 'Those who are without virtue cannot abide
long either in a condition of poverty and hardship, or in a condition of
enjoyment. The virtuous rest in virtue; the wise desire virtue.'

'It is only the (truly) virtuous man, who can love, or who can hate,
others.' CHAP. IV. The Master said, 'If the will be set on virtue, there
will be no practice of wickedness.' CHAP. V. 1. The Master said,
'Riches and honours are what men desire. If it cannot be obtained in the
proper way, they should not be held. Poverty and meanness are what
men dislike. If it cannot be avoided in the proper way, they should not
be avoided. 2. 'If a superior man abandon virtue, how can he fulfil the
requirements of that name? 3. 'The superior man does not, even for the
space of a single meal, act contrary to virtue. In moments of haste, he
cleaves to it. In seasons of danger, he cleaves to it.'

VI. 1. The Master said, 'I have not seen a person who loved virtue, or
one who hated what was not virtuous. He who loved virtue, would
esteem nothing above it. He who hated what is not virtuous, would
practise virtue in such a way that he would not allow anything that is
not virtuous to approach his person. 2. 'Is any one able for one day to
apply his strength to virtue? I have not seen the case in which his
strength would be insufficient. 3. 'Should there possibly be any such
case, I have not seen it.' CHAP. VII. The Master said, 'The faults of
men are characteristic of the class to which they belong. By observing a
man's faults, it may be known that he is virtuous.'

may die in the evening without regret.' CHAP. IX. The Master said, 'A
scholar, whose mind is set on truth, and who is ashamed of bad clothes
and bad food, is not fit to be discoursed with.' CHAP. X. The Master
said, 'The superior man, in the world, does not set his mind either for
anything, or against anything; what is right he will follow.' CHAP. XI.
The Master said, 'The superior man thinks of virtue; the small man
