- 若夫君子所患則亡矣。非仁無為也,非禮無行也。如有一朝之患,則君子不患矣。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
- From: Mencius, c. 4th century BCE
- Ruòfú jūnzǐ suǒ huàn zé wú yǐ. Fēi rén wú wéi yě, fēi lǐ wú xíng yě. Rú yǒu yī zhāo zhī huàn, zé jūnzǐ bù huàn yǐ. [Pinyin]
- As for what the virtuous man considers calamitous, there is none. Nothing he does is not benevolent; no action he takes is against the rites. If a calamity falls upon him one morning, the virtuous man does not consider it calamitous.
若夫君子所患则亡矣。非仁无为也,非礼无行也。如有一朝之患,则君子不患矣。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]
