The Master said, "That is notoriety, not distinction.
子曰：“是聞也，非達也。
Now the man of distinction is solid and straightforward, and loves righteousness.
夫達也者，質直而好義。
He examines people's words, and looks at their countenances. He is anxious to humble himself to others.
察言而觀色，慮以下人。
Such a man will be distinguished in the country; he will be distinguished in his clan.
在邦必達，在家必達。
As to the man of notoriety, he assumes the appearance of virtue, but his actions are opposed to it, and he rests in this character without any doubts about himself.
夫聞也者，色取仁而行違，居之不疑。
Such a man will be heard of in the country, he will be heard of in the clan."
在邦必聞，在家必聞。”
Fan Ch'ih rambling with the Master under the trees about the rain altars, said, "I venture to ask how to exalt virtue, to correct cherished evil, and to discover delusions."
樊遲從游于舞雩之下，曰：“敢問崇德、修慝、辨惑。”
The Master said, "Truly a good question!
子曰：“善哉問！
If doing what is to be done be made the first business, and success a secondary consideration, is not this the way to exalt virtue?
先事后得，非崇德與？
To assail one's own wickedness and not assail that of others, is not this the way to correct cherished evil?
攻其惡，無攻人之惡，非修慝與？
For a morning's anger to disregard one's own life, and involve that of his parents, is not this a case of delusion?"
一朝之忿，忘其身，以及其親，非惑與？”
Fan Ch'ih asked about benevolence, the Master said, "It is to love all men." He asked about knowledge. The Master said, "It is to know all men."
樊遲問仁，子曰：“愛人?！眴栔釉唬骸爸??！?/p>
