The philosopher Tsang said, "The officer may not be without breadth of mind and vigorous endurance.
曾子曰：“士不可以不弘毅，
His burden is heavy and his course is long.
任重而道远。
"Perfect virtue is the burden which he considers it is his to sustain; is it not heavy?
仁以为己任，不亦重乎？
Only with death does his course stop; is it not long?
死而后已，不亦远乎？”
The Master said, "It is by the Odes that the mind is aroused.
子曰：“兴于《诗》，
"It is by the Rules of Propriety that the character is established.
立于礼，
"It is from Music that the finish is received."
成于乐。”
The Master said, "The people may be made to follow a path of action, but they may not be made to understand it."
子曰：“民可使由之，不可使知之。”

The Master said, "The man who is fond of daring and is dissatisfied with poverty, will proceed to insubordination.
子曰：“好勇疾贫，乱也。
So will the man who is not virtuous, when you carry your dislike of him to an extreme."
人而不仁，疾之已甚，乱也。”
The Master said, "Though a man have abilities as admirable as those of the Duke of Chau,
子曰：“如有周公之才之美，
yet if he be proud and niggardly, those other things are really not worth being looked at."
使骄且吝，其余不足观也已。”
The Master said, "It is not easy to find a man who has learned for three years without coming to be good."
子曰：“三年学，不至于谷，不易得也。”
The Master said, "With sincere faith he unites the love of learning;
子曰：“笃信好学，
holding firm to death, he is perfecting the excellence of his course.
守死善道。
