孔子论仁, 道及天Confucius on Benevolence, Humans, and Heaven (Analects)
有子曰,其為人也孝 第,而好犯上做亂者鮮矣;不好犯上而好做亂者,未之有也。君子務本本立而道生。 孝弟也者,其為仁之本与。 • Yu Tz said, “It is rare for a man whose character is such that he is good as son and obedient as a young man to have the inclination to transgress against his superiors; it is unheard of for one who has no such inclination to be inclined to start a rebellion. The gentleman devotes his efforts to the roots, for once the roots are established, the Way will grow there from. Being good as a son and obedient as a young man is, perhaps, the root of a man’s character. (Reading: Analects, p.59)
子曰:巧言令色鮮仁矣。 (《學而》) • The Master said, “It is rare, indeed, for a man with cunning words and an ingratiating face to be benevolent.” (Reading: Analects, p.59) • 子曰:人而不仁,如禮何;人而不仁,如樂何。(《八佾》) • Master said, “What can a man do with the rites who is not benevolent? What can a man do on the music who is not benevolent?” (Reading: Analects, p. 67)
子曰:不仁者,不可以久處約,不可以長處樂。仁者安仁,知者利人。唯仁者能好人,能惡人。苟志于仁矣,無惡也。(《里仁》)子曰:不仁者,不可以久處約,不可以長處樂。仁者安仁,知者利人。唯仁者能好人,能惡人。苟志于仁矣,無惡也。(《里仁》) • The Master said, “One who is no benevolent cannot remain long in straitened circumstances, nor can he remain long in easy circumstances. The benevolent man is attracted to benevolence because he feels at home in it. The wise man is attracted to benevolence because he finds it to his advantage [The wise man is attracted to benefit others]. It is only the benevolent man who is capable of liking or disliking other men. If a man sets his heart on benevolence, he will be free from evil.” (Reading: Analects, p. 72)
子曰: 我未見好仁者惡不仁者。好仁者無以尚之,惡不仁者,其為仁矣。不使不仁者加乎其身. (《里仁》) • Master said, “I have never met a man who finds benevolence attractive or a man who finds un-benevolence repulsive. A man who finds benevolence attractive cannot be surpassed. A man who finds un-benevolence repulsive can, perhaps, be counted as benevolent, for he would not allow what is not benevolent to contaminate his person.” (Reading: Analects, p. 72-73)
子曰:知者樂水,仁者樂山。知者動,仁者靜;知者樂,仁者壽。 (《雍也》) • The master said, “The wise find joy in water; the benevolent find joy in mountains. The wise are active; the benevolent are still. The wise are joyful; the benevolent are long-lived.” (Reading: Analects, p. 84)
Confucian Texts 2. The methods to reach benevolence: 己欲立而立人,己欲達而達人。能近取譬,可謂仁之方也已。 (《雍也》) “Now, on the other hand, a benevolent man helps others to take their stand in so far as himself wishes to take his stand, and gets others there in so far as he himself wishes to get there. The ability to take as analogy what is near at hand can be called the method of benevolence.” (Reading: Analects, p. 85)
子曰:仁遠乎哉,我欲仁,斯仁至矣。 (《述而》) The Master said, “Is benevolence really far away? No sooner do I desire it than it is here. “ (Reading: Analects, p. 90) 子曰: 知者不惑,仁者不憂,勇者不懼。 (《子罕》) The master said, “The man of wisdom is never in two minds; the man of benevolence never worries; the man of courage is never afraid.” (Reading: Analects, p. 100)
顏淵問仁,子曰:克己服禮為仁。一日克己复禮,天下歸仁焉。為仁由己二由仁乎哉?顏淵曰:請問其目。子曰:非禮勿視,非禮勿听,非禮勿言,非禮勿動。顏淵問仁,子曰:克己服禮為仁。一日克己复禮,天下歸仁焉。為仁由己二由仁乎哉?顏淵曰:請問其目。子曰:非禮勿視,非禮勿听,非禮勿言,非禮勿動。

Others may equal his intelligence but they cannot equal his stupidity.” (Reading Materials, Analects: p. 79, # 21)
子曰:篤信好學,守死善道,危邦不入,亂邦不居。天下有道則見,無道則隱。邦無道,貧且賤焉,恥也;邦無道,富且貴焉,恥也。 (《泰伯》) • The Master said, “Have the firm faith to devote yourself to learning, and abide to the death in the good way. Enter not a state that is in peril; stay not in a state that is in danger. Show yourself when the Way prevails in the Empire, but hide yourself when it does not. It is a shameful matter to be poor and humble when the Way prevailed in the state. Equally, it is a shameful matter to be rich and noble when the Way falls into disuse in the state.” (Reading Materials, Analects: p. 94, # 13)
