君子有三畏:畏天命,畏大人,畏圣人之言。小人不知天命而不畏也,狎大人,侮圣人之言。 · There are three things of which the gentleman stands in awe. He stands in awe of the ordinances of Heaven. He stands in awe of great men. He stands in awe of the words of sages. The mean man,however,does not know the ordinances of Heaven,and consequently does not stand in awe of them. He is disrespectful to great men. He makes sport of the words of sages.(The Analects of Confucius [551-479 BC]) |
