淵騫卷第十一 - Yuan and Qian

English translation: Jeffrey S. Bullock [?] Library Resources
3 淵騫卷第... :
君子絕德,小人絕力。或問「絕德」。曰:「舜以孝,禹以功,臯陶以謨,非絕德邪?」「力」。「秦悼武、烏獲、任鄙扛鼎抃牛,非絕力邪?」
Yuan and Qian:
The junzi strives for incomparable de. The petty person strives for incomparable strength.
Someone asked: What is incomparable de?
Yangzi said: Shun's filial piety, Yu's labors, Gao Yao's planning—are these not examples of incomparable de?
The other said: What about strength?
Yangzi said: To lift cauldrons on one's shoulders or wrestle oxen like King Dao Wu of Qin, Wu Huo or Ren Bi—are these not examples of incomparable strength?
