伯夷叔齐虞仲夷逸朱张柳下惠少连The men who have retired to privacy from the world have been Bo Yi, Shu Qi, Yu Zhong, Yi Yi, Zhu Zhang, Hui of Liu Xia, and Shao Lian.
:“伯夷叔齐!”The Master said, "Refusing to surrender their wills, or to submit to any taint in their persons - such, I think, were Bo Yi and Shu Qi.
:“柳下惠少连"It may be said of Hui of Liu Xia, and of Shao Lian,
that they surrendered their wills, and submitted to taint in their persons,
but their words corresponded with reason,
and their actions were such as men are anxious to see.
。” This is all that is to be remarked in them.
:“虞仲夷逸It may be said of Yu Zhong and Yi Yi,
that, while they hid themselves in their seclusion, they gave a license to their words;
but in their persons, they succeeded in preserving their purity,
。”and, in their retirement, they acted according to the exigency of the times.
"I am different from all these.
。”I have no course for which I am predetermined, and no course against which I am predetermined."
