| “不出户庭，无咎。” | 'He does not quit the courtyard before his door; - there will be no occasion for blame.' |
| 子曰：“乱之所生也，则言语以为阶。 | The Master said on this: - 'When disorder arises, it will be found that (ill-advised) speech was the steppingstone to it. |
| 君不密，则失臣；臣不密，则失身；几事不密，则害成。是以君子慎密而不出也。” | If a ruler do not keep secret (his deliberations with his minister), he will lose that minister. If a minister do not keep secret (his deliberations with his ruler), he will lose his life. If (important) matters in the germ be not kept secret, that will be injurious to their accomplishment. Therefore the superior man is careful to maintain secrecy, and does not allow himself to speak.' |
