Analects

Chapter 1 Learning comes first
1.1
The Master said: "Study and learn from time to time, isn't it easy to talk about it? Isn't it a pleasure to have friends come from afar? Isn't it a gentleman if you don't know it and don't feel stunned?"

1.2
Youzi said: "As a man, he is also filial to his younger brother, but it is rare to be fond of offending his superiors! It is rare for him to be fond of offending his superiors, but he is fond of making trouble. There is no such thing. "

1.3
The Master said: "Smart words and demeanor are rare and benevolent."

1.4
Zeng Zi said: "My day and my body are three times: do you want to be unfaithful? Do you not believe in making friends? Do you not know how to pass on?"

1.5
The son said: "A kingdom of thousands of ways, respect things and believe, economize and love others, so that people can keep their time."

1.6
The Master said: "When a disciple enters, he is filial, and when he leaves, he is a younger brother. He is sincere and trustworthy, loves everyone, and is kind to others. If you have spare power, you should study literature."

1.7
Zi Xia said: "A virtuous person is easy to look at. When serving parents, one can do one's best. When serving one's ruler, one can do one's best. When dealing with friends, one must keep one's word. Even if you say you haven't learned it, I must say you have learned it."

1.8
The Master said: "If a gentleman is not serious, he will not be powerful; if he learns, he will not be solid. The Lord is loyal and trustworthy, and if he has no friends who are not as good as himself, don't be afraid to correct his mistakes."

1.9
Zeng Zi said: "Careful to the end, chasing after the distance, the people's virtue will be thick!"

1.10
Ziqin asked Yu Zigong, "Master, as for being a state, you must hear about its politics. Seek peace with it? Do you agree with it?"

Zigong said: "My master is warm, kind, courteous, frugal, and you can get it by letting it go. What you want, master, is different from what other people want!"

1.11
The son said: "If the father is present, watch his will; if the father doesn't, watch his deeds; if he hasn't changed his way of the father for three years, it can be said to be filial."

1.12
Youzi said: "For the purpose of etiquette, harmony is the most important thing. The way of the ancient kings, this is the beauty, and the small and the big are left to themselves. If you don't want to do something, you should know harmony and live in harmony. If you don't use etiquette, it will not work."

1.13
You Zi said: "Faith is close to righteousness, but words can be restored. Being close to courtesy is far from shame. You can also sect because you don't lose your relatives."

1.14
The Master said: "A gentleman has nothing to eat, nothing to live in, and nothing to live in. He is sensitive to things but cautious in his words. He has the way and is righteous. It can be said that he is eager to learn."

1.15
Zi Gong said: "How about being poor without flattery, and being rich without arrogance?"

Confucius said: "Yes. It is not like being poor and happy, but rich and polite."

Zi Gong said: "The "Poetry" says: 'It's like cutting like weaving, like cutting like grinding', what do you mean by that?"

The Master said: "Give it to you, and then you can say that the "Poetry" is over! Tell everyone who has gone and knows what will come."

1.16
The Master said: "Don't worry about what others don't know, and worry about people who don't know."
