子曰：“学而时习之，不亦说乎？有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎？人不知，而不愠，不亦君子乎？”

学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。

Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous.

Perfect is the virtue which is according to the Mean! Rare have they long been among the people, who could practice it!

Among the appliances to transform the people, sound and appearances are but trivial influences.

子曰：“君子不重则不威，学则不固。主忠信，无友不如己者，过，则勿惮改。”

The superior man loves his soul; the inferior man loves his property.

The superior man has neither anxiety nor fear. When internal examination discovers nothing wrong, what is there to be anxious about, what is there to fear?

It is not truth that makes man great, but man that makes truth great.

有子曰：“礼之用，和为贵。先王之道，斯为美。小大由之，有所不行。知和而和，不以礼节之，亦不可行也。”

子曰：“弟子，入则孝，出则悌，谨而信，泛爱众而亲仁，行有余力，则以学文。”

If the people have no faith in their rulers, there is no standing for the state.

子曰：“父在，观其志。父没，观其行。三年无改于父之道，可谓孝矣。”

曾子曰：“慎终，追远，民德归厚矣。”

子曰：“道千乘之国，敬事而信，节用而爱人，使民以时。”

It is characteristic of the most entire sincerity to be able to foreknow. When a nation or family is about to flourish, there are sure to be happy omens; and when it is about to perish, there are sure to be unlucky omens.

The man of virtue makes the difficulty to be overcome his first business, and success only a subsequent consideration.

Men all say, "We are wise"; but being driven forward and taken in a net, a trap, or a pitfall, they know not how to escape. Men all say, "We are wise"; but happening to choose the course of the Mean, they are not able to keep it for a round month.

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

子贡曰：“贫而无谄，富而无骄。何如？”子曰：“可也。未若贫而乐，富而好礼者也。” 子贡曰：“诗云：如切如磋，如琢如磨。其斯之谓与？”子曰：“赐也，始可与言诗已矣。告诸往而知来者。”
