君子之道,辟如行远必自迩,辟如登高必自卑。 · For a gentleman,the realization of Tao is like a long journey which must start from somewhere nearby; it is like climbing a high mountain which must begin from somewhere low.· The way of a virtuous man may be compared to travelling.When he is to go on a long journey,he starts from somewhere nearby; when ascending a height,he begins in a low place. (The Book of Rites [of the Warring States Period]) |
