text-pinyin 有子曰[yǒu zǐ yuē]: 「 其爲人也孝弟[qí wéi rén yě xiào tì], 而好犯上者[ér hào fàn shàng zhě], 鮮矣[xiǎn yǐ]; 不好犯上[bù hào fàn shàng], 而好作亂者[ér hào zuò luàn zhě], 未之有也[wèi zhī yǒu yě]! 君子務本[jūn zǐ wù běn], 本立而道生[běn lì ér dào shēng];孝弟也者[xiào tì yě zhě], 其爲仁之本與[qí wéi rén zhī běn yú]? 」
englishtrans The philosopher Yu said, “They are few who, being filial and fraternal, are fond of offending against their superiors. There have been none, who, not liking to offend against their superiors, have been fond of stirring up confusion. The superior man bends his attention to what is radical. That being established, all practical courses naturally grow up. Filial piety and fraternal submission, -are they not the root of all benevolent actions?”
