顏淵 - Yan Yuan

English translation: James Legge [?]
Books referencing 《顏淵》 Library Resources
8 顏淵:
棘子成曰:「君子質而已矣,何以文為?」子貢曰:「惜乎!夫子之說,君子也。駟不及舌。文猶質也,質猶文也。虎豹之鞟,猶犬羊之鞟。」
Yan Yuan:
Ji Zi Cheng said, "In a superior man it is only the substantial qualities which are wanted; why should we seek for ornamental accomplishments?" Zi Gong said, "Alas! Your words, sir, show you to be a superior man, but four horses cannot overtake the tongue. Ornament is as substance; substance is as ornament. The hide of a tiger or a leopard stripped of its hair, is like the hide of a dog or a goat stripped of its hair."

1 玄德:
知者不言,知者貴行不貴言也。言者不知。,多言多患。塞其兌,閉其門,塞閉之者,欲絕其源。挫其銳,情欲有所銳為,當念道無為以挫止之。解其紛,紛,結恨不休也。當念道恬怕以解釋之。和其光,雖有獨見之明,當和之使闇昧,不使曜亂。同其塵,不當自別殊也。是謂玄同。玄,天也。人能行此上事,是謂與天同道也。故不可得而親,不以榮譽為樂,獨立為哀。亦不可得而踈;志靜無欲,故與人無怨。不可得而利,身不欲富貴,口不欲五味。亦不可得而害,不與貪爭利,不與勇爭氣。不可得而貴,不為亂世主,不處暗君位。亦不可得而賤,不以乘權故驕,不以失志故屈。故為天下貴。其德如此,天子不得臣,諸侯不得屈,與世沉浮容身避害,故天下貴也。
