BOOK 7 SHU R.CHAPTER 3 “The Master said, ‘The leaving virtue without proper cultivation; the not thoroughly discussing what is learned; not being able to move towards righteousness of which a knowledge is gained; and not being able to change what is not good: these are the things which occasion me solicitude.’” CHAPTER 6 “The Master said, ‘Let the will be set on the path of duty. Let every attainment in what is good be firmly grasped. Let perfect virtue be accorded with. Let relaxation and enjoyment be found in the polite arts.’” CHAPTER 15 “The Master said, ‘With coarse rice to eat, with water to drink, and my bended arm for a pillow; I have still joy in the midst of these things. Riches and honors acquired by unrighteousness, are to me as a floating cloud.’” CHAPTER 21 “The Master said, ‘When I walk along with two others, they may serve me as my teachers. I will select their good qualities and follow them, their bad qualities and avoid them.’” CHAPTER 25 “The Master said, ‘A sage it is not mine to see; could I see a man of real talent and virtue, that would satisfy me.’ The Master said, ‘A good man it is not mine to see; could I see a man possessed of constancy, that would satisfy me. Having not and yet affecting to have, empty and yet affecting to be full, straitened and yet affecting to be at ease: it is difficult with such characteristics to have constancy.’” CHAPTER 27 “The Master said, ‘There may be those who act without knowing why. I do not do so. Hearing much and selecting what is good and following it; seeing much and keeping it in memory: this is the second style of knowledge.’” CHAPTER 29 “The Master said, ‘Is virtue a thing remote? I wish to be virtuous, and lo! virtue is at hand.’”CHAPTER 32 “The Master said, ‘In letters, I am perhaps equal to other men, but the character of the superior man, carrying out in his conduct what he professes, is what I have not yet attained to.’” CHAPTER 33 “The Master said, ‘The sage and the man of perfect virtue; how dare I rank myself with them? It may simply be said of me that I strive to become such without satiety and teach others without weariness.’ Kung-hsi Hwa said, ‘This is just what we, the disciples, cannot imitate you in.’”
