The Master said, "I have not seen a person who loved virtue, or one who hated what was not virtuous.
子曰：“我未見好仁者，惡不仁者。
He who loved virtue, would esteem nothing above it.
好仁者，無以尚之；
He who hated what is not virtuous, would practice virtue in such a way that he would not allow anything that is not virtuous to approach his person.
惡不仁者，其為仁矣，不使不仁者加乎其身。
"Is any one able for one day to apply his strength to virtue?
有能一日用其力于仁矣乎？
I have not seen the case in which his strength would be insufficient.
我未見力不足者。
"Should there possibly be any such case, I have not seen it."
蓋有之矣，我未之見也。”
The Master said, "The faults of men are characteristic of the class to which they belong.
子曰：“人之過也，各于其黨。
By observing a man's faults, it may be known that he is virtuous."
觀過，斯知仁矣。”
The Master said, "If a man in the morning hear the right way, he may die in the evening without regret."
子曰：“朝聞道，夕死可矣。”
The Master said, "A scholar, whose mind is set on truth, and who is ashamed of bad clothes and bad food, is not fit to be discoursed with."
子曰：“士志于道，而恥惡衣惡食者，未足與議也。”
The Master said, "The superior man, in the world, does not set his mind either for anything, or against anything; what is right he will follow."
子曰：“君子之于天下也，無適也，無莫也，義之與比。”
The Master said, "The superior man thinks of virtue; the small man thinks of comfort.
子曰：“君子懷德，小人懷土；
The superior man thinks of the sanctions of law; the small man thinks of favors which he may receive."
君子懷刑，小人懷惠。”
The Master said: "He who acts with a constant view to his own advantage will be much murmured against."
子曰：“放于利而行，多怨。”
