| 《·》: | 侗：二人而俱見是楹也，若事君。 | | They are two men but both see that this is a pillar. Like serving a ruler. The pillar's engendering of the complement is not to be treated as necessary. (?) | | 《·》: | 子夏曰：「賢賢易色，事父母能竭其力，事君能致其身，與朋友交言而有信。」 | | Zi Xia said, "If a man withdraws his mind from the love of beauty, and applies it as sincerely to the love of the virtuous; if, in serving his parents, he can exert his utmost strength; if, in serving his prince, he can devote his life; if, in his intercourse with his friends, his words are sincere" | | 《·》: | 惟仁者為能以大事小，是故湯事葛，文王事昆夷。 | | But it requires a perfectly virtuous prince to be able, with a great country, to serve a small one - as, for instance, Tang served Ge, and king Wen served the Kun barbarians. | | 《》: | 治人事天莫若嗇 | | For regulating the human (in our constitution) and rendering the (proper) service to the heavenly, there is nothing like moderation. | | 《·》: | 韓事秦三十餘年，出則為扞蔽，入則為蓆薦，秦特出銳師取韓地，而隨之怨懸於天下，功歸於強秦 | | 《·》: | 獻子事晉昭公 | | 《·》: | 子事父母，雞初鳴，咸盥漱，櫛縰笄總，拂髦冠緌纓，端韠紳，搢笏 |
