《離婁上 - Li Lou I》 | Library Resources |
| 12 | 離婁上: | 孟子曰：「居下位而不獲於上，民不可得而治也。獲於上有道：不信於友，弗獲於上矣；信於友有道：事親弗悅，弗信於友矣；悅親有道：反身不誠，不悅於親矣；誠身有道：不明乎善，不誠其身矣。是故誠者，天之道也；思誠者，人之道也。至誠而不動者，未之有也；不誠，未有能動者也。」 |
| Li Lou I: | Mencius said, 'When those occupying inferior situations do not obtain the confidence of the sovereign, they cannot succeed in governing the people. There is a way to obtain the confidence of the sovereign: if one is not trusted by his friends, he will not obtain the confidence of his sovereign. There is a way of being trusted by one's friends: if one do not serve his parents so as to make them pleased, he will not be trusted by his friends. There is a way to make one's parents pleased: if one, on turning his thoughts inwards, finds a want of sincerity, he will not give pleasure to his parents. There is a way to the attainment of sincerity in one's self: if a man do not understand what is good, he will not attain sincerity in himself. Therefore, sincerity is the way of Heaven. To think how to be sincere is the way of man. Never has there been one possessed of complete sincerity, who did not move others. Never has there been one who had not sincerity who was able to move others.' |

《中庸 - Zhong Yong》 | English translation: James Legge [?] | Books referencing 《中庸》 Library Resources |
| 22 | 中庸: | 「凡事豫則立，不豫則廢。言前定則不跲，事前定則不困，行前定則不疚，道前定則不窮。在下位不獲乎上，民不可得而治矣；獲乎上有道：不信乎朋友，不獲乎上矣；信乎朋友有道：不順乎親，不信乎朋友矣；順乎親有道：反諸身不誠，不順乎親矣；誠身有道：不明乎善，不誠乎身矣。誠者，天之道也；誠之者，人之道也。誠者不勉而中，不思而得，從容中道，聖人也。誠之者，擇善而固執之者也。博學之，審問之，慎思之，明辨之，篤行之。有弗學，學之弗能，弗措也；有弗問，問之弗知，弗措也；有弗思，思之弗得，弗措也；有弗辨，辨之弗明，弗措也，有弗行，行之弗篤，弗措也。人一能之己百之，人十能之己千之。果能此道矣，雖愚必明，雖柔必強。」 |
| Zhong Yong: | "In all things success depends on previous preparation, and without such previous preparation there is sure to be failure. If what is to be spoken be previously determined, there will be no stumbling. If affairs be previously determined, there will be no difficulty with them. If one's actions have been previously determined, there will be no sorrow in connection with them. If principles of conduct have been previously determined, the practice of them will be inexhaustible. When those in inferior situations do not obtain the confidence of the sovereign, they cannot succeed in governing the people. There is a way to obtain the confidence of the sovereign;-if one is not trusted by his friends, he will not get the confidence of his sovereign. There is a way to being trusted by one's friends;-if one is not obedient to his parents, he will not be true to friends. There is a way to being obedient to one's parents;-if one, on turning his thoughts in upon himself, finds a want of sincerity, he will not be obedient to his parents. There is a way to the attainment of sincerity in one's self; -if a man do not understand what is good, he will not attain sincerity in himself. Sincerity is the way of Heaven. The attainment of sincerity is the way of men. He who possesses sincerity is he who, without an effort, hits what is right, and apprehends, without the exercise of thought;-he is the sage who naturally and easily embodies the right way. He who attains to sincerity is he who chooses what is good, and firmly holds it fast. To this attainment there are requisite the extensive study of what is good, accurate inquiry about it, careful reflection on it, the clear discrimination of it, and the earnest practice of it. The superior man, while there is anything he has not studied, or while in what he has studied there is anything he cannot understand, will not intermit his labor. While there is anything he has not inquired about, or anything in what he has inquired about which he does not know, he will not intermit his labor. While there is anything which he has not reflected on, or anything in what he has reflected on which he does not apprehend, he will not intermit his labor. While there is anything which he has not discriminated or his discrimination is not clear, he will not intermit his labor. If there be anything which he has not practiced, or his practice fails in earnestness, he will not intermit his labor. If another man succeed by one effort, he will use a hundred efforts. If another man succeed by ten efforts, he will use a thousand. Let a man proceed in this way, and, though dull, he will surely become intelligent; though weak, he will surely become strong." |

《哀公問政》 | Library Resources |
| 1 | 哀公問政: | 哀公問政於孔子，孔子對曰：「文武之政，布在方策。其人存，則其政舉；其人亡，則其政息。天道敏生，人道敏政，地道敏樹。夫政者，猶蒲盧也，待化以成。故為政在於得人。取人以身，脩道以仁。仁者、人也，親親為大；義者、宜也，尊賢為大。親親之教，尊賢之等，禮所以生也。禮者、政之本也。是以君子不可以不脩身；思脩身，不可以不事親；思事親，不可以不知人；思知人，不可以不知天。天下之達道有五，其所以行之者三。曰：君臣也，父子也，夫婦也，昆弟也，朋友也。五者、天下之達道。智、仁、勇、三者，天下之達德也。所以行之者一也。或生而知之，或學而知之，或困而知之，及其知之一也。或安而行之，或利而行之，或勉強而行之，及其成功一也。」公曰：「子之言，美矣至矣！寡人實固，不足以成之也。」孔子曰：「好學近乎智，力行近乎仁，知恥近乎勇。知斯三者，則知所以脩身；知所以脩身，則知所以治人；知所以治人，則能成天下國家者矣。」公曰：「政其盡此而已乎？」孔子曰：「凡為天下國家有九經，曰：脩身也，尊賢也，親親也，敬大臣也，體群臣也，重庶民也，來百工也，柔遠人也，懷諸侯也。夫脩身則道立，尊賢則不惑，親親則諸父兄弟不怨，敬大臣則不眩，體群臣則士之報禮重，重庶民則百姓勸，來百工則財用足，柔遠人則四方歸之，懷諸侯則天下畏之。」公曰：「為之奈何？」孔子曰：「齋絜盛服，非禮不動，所以脩身也；去讒遠色，賤利而貴德，所以尊賢也；爵其能，重其祿，同其好惡，所以篤親親也；官盛任使，所以敬大臣也；忠信重祿，所以勸士也；時使薄歛，所以子百姓也；日省月考，餼廩稱事，所以來百工也；送往迎來，嘉善而矜不能，所以綏遠人也；繼絕世，舉廢邦，治亂持危，朝聘以時，厚往而薄來，所以懷諸侯也。治天下國家有九經，其所以行之者一也。凡事豫則立，不豫則廢，言前定則不跲，事前定則不困，行前定則不疾，道前定則不窮。在下位不獲于上，民弗可得而治矣；獲于上有道，不信于友，不獲于上矣；信于友有道，不順于親，不信于友矣；順于親有道，反諸身不誠，不順于親矣；誠身有道，不明于善，不誠于身矣。誠者、天之道也；誠之者、人之道也。夫誠、弗勉而中，不思而得，從容中道，聖人之所以定體也。誠之者，擇善而固執之者也。」公曰：「子之教寡人備矣，敢問行之所始。」孔子曰：「立愛自親始，教民睦也；立敬自長始，教民順也；教之慈睦，而民貴有親；教以敬，而民貴用命。民既孝於親，又順以聽命，措諸天下，無所不可。」公曰：「寡人既得聞此言也，懼不能果行而獲罪咎。」 |

又《中庸》曰：夫婦之愚，可以與知焉；及其至也，雖聖人亦有所不知焉。夫婦之不肖，可以能行焉；及其至也，雖聖人亦有所不能焉。 又曰：舜其大孝也與！德為聖人，尊為天子，富有四海之內。宗廟饗之，子孫保之。 又曰：誠者，天之道也；誠之者，人之道也。誠者不勉而中，不思而得，從容中道，聖人也。 又曰：大哉聖人之道！洋洋乎發育萬物，峻極于天。 |
