Mencius
WholeheartedlyMencius said: "Those who do their best know their nature." If you know its nature, you will know the sky. Keep its heart and nurture its nature, so everything is also good. Longevity is not two, self-cultivation is in order to take care of it, so it is also life-threatening. ”
Mencius said: "If you are not fated, you should accept it." He who knows his destiny does not stand under the rock wall. Those who die in their own way are also fatal. Shackling the dead is not the right fate. ”
Mencius said: "'If you ask for it, you will get it, and if you give it, you will lose it', which is to seek to be beneficial to what you get, and to ask for what is in me." 'There is a way to ask for it, and there is a destiny to get it', which is to seek what is not beneficial to it, and to ask for those who are outside. ”
Mencius said: "All things are prepared for me, reflexive and sincere, and happy." Forgiveness and forgiveness, seeking kindness is not approachable. ”
Mencius said: "Those who do it without paying attention to it, those who practice it without observing, and those who do not know its way all their lives, are also the people." ”
Mencius said, "One cannot be shameless. Shameless, shameless. ”
Mencius said: "Shame on people." For those who are clever in change, there is no shame in using it. If you are not ashamed, why should you be human? ”
Mencius said: "The sage king of the ancients is so good that he forgets his power. Ancient Magi, why not? Enjoy it and forget about it. Therefore, if the prince does not pay tribute, he will not be seen urgently. Seeing and not being in a hurry, but being able to do it? ”
Mencius said in Song Jujian: "The son is good at swimming? My language Ziyou: People know and they are noisy, and people don't know and they are noisy. ”
He said: "How can you be arrogant? ”
He said: "If you respect virtue and righteousness, you can be arrogant." Therefore, the poor do not lose their righteousness, and they do not deviate from the way. Poverty does not lose righteousness, so the soldier gains his own. The people are not disappointed. The ancients, the will, Zejia to the people; Unwilling, self-cultivation is seen in the world. If you are poor, you will be left alone; When prosperous, try to benefit others. ”
Mencius said: "Those who wait for King Wen to rise later, all the people are also." If the husband is a hero, although there is no king of literature, he is still happy. ”
Mencius said: "Attached to the house of Han Wei, if it regards itself as a good thing, it will be outstanding." ”
Mencius said: "Envoy the people with the Tao, although you do not complain." Kill the people with the way of life, and do not complain about the killer even though he dies. ”
Mencius said: "The people of the hegemon are as good as they are; The people of kings are as simple as they are. Kill it without complaining, benefit it without mediocrity, and the people do not know what to do. The husband and gentleman have passed, and the gods who have survived, and the upper and lower flow with heaven and earth, how can it be said that it is a small supplement? ”
Mencius said: "Benevolence is not as deep as benevolence." Good governance is not as good as good education to win the people. Good governance and the people are afraid of it; Teach the people to love it. Good governance gains the wealth of the people; Good education wins the hearts of the people. ”
Mencius said: "Those who can do what people do not learn are also good and capable." Those who know without concern also have their conscience. A child knows how to love his relatives, and his elders, and all know how to respect his brothers. Kiss, benevolence. Respect for the long, righteous also. Without him, the world is also reached. ”
Mencius said: "Shun lives in the deep mountains, lives with wood and stone, and travels with deer and pigs, so it is different from the savages in the deep mountains." And when he hears a good word and sees a good deed, if he breaks the river, he can resist it. ”
Mencius said: "There is nothing to do and nothing to do, nothing to want, and that's it." ”
Mencius said: "Those who have virtue and wisdom and know how to know will always be sick." Dugu Chen's son is also dangerous, and his worries are also deep, so he arrives. ”
Mencius said: "If there is something to be a gentleman, if something is a king, then it is a person who is pleasing to you." There are those who have an security society, and those who are happy with an security society. Those who have heavenly people will be able to do it in the world and then do it. There are adults who are righteous and things are right. ”
Mencius said: "A gentleman has three pleasures, but the king does not exist with the world." Both parents exist, brothers have no reason, and they are happy. Look up to the sky, bow down to people, and be happy. Get the world's talents and educate them, and the three music are also. A gentleman has three pleasures, but the king does not exist with the world. ”
Mencius said: "The people of the vast land, the gentleman wants it, and the pleasure does not exist." Standing in the middle of the world, the people of the four seas, the gentleman is happy, and the nature does not exist. The nature of a gentleman, although he is big, does not add to it, although he lives in poverty, he does not lose it, and he is determined. The nature of a gentleman, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and wisdom are rooted in the heart. Its color is also visible on the face and on the back. Applied to the four bodies, the four bodies are self-evident. ”
Mencius said: "Bo Yi opened the river, lived in the Beihai Sea, heard that the king of Wen was xing, and said: 'Return! I heard that Xibo is a good pensioner. 'Taigong opened up the river, lived in the East China Sea, heard that the king of Wen was xing, and said: 'Come back! I heard that Xibo is a good pensioner. 'If there is a good pension in the world, then the benevolent people will return to themselves. Five-acre house, mulberry under the tree wall, and silkworms, the old man is enough to wear clothes. Five hens, two hens, no loss of time, the old man is enough to lose meat. A hundred acres of land, ploughed by a husband, and a family of eight is enough to be hungry. The so-called Xibo is good at providing for the elderly, controlling his fields, teaching the trees and animals, guiding his wives, and raising his old age. Fifty is not silk and not boiled, and seventy is not meat and not full. If you don't simmer or be full, it's called frozen. The people of King Wen, the old man who has no frost, this is also called. ”
Mencius said: "Change its fields, thin its taxes, and the people can make them rich." When you eat it, use it as a courtesy, and you can't use it. The people do not live without fire and water, knock on the door of people at dusk, ask for water and fire, and those who have nothing to do with it are enough. The saint rules the world, so that there are corn like fire and water. Corn is like fire and water, and the people are unkind! ”
Mencius said: "Confucius climbed the East Mountain and Xiaolu, climbed Mount Tai and the world was small." Therefore, it is difficult for those who look at the sea to be water; Those who swim through the gates of saints are hard to say. If you have the skill to watch the water, you must watch it. The sun and the moon are bright, and the light will shine. Flowing water is also a thing, and it is not possible to do it without Yingke; The ambition of a gentleman is also in the way, and it is not up to the rules. ”
Mencius said: "The rooster crows, and the breeder is a good person, and the disciple of Shun is also." The rooster crows, and the breeders are profitable, and the plantar disciples are also. If you want to know the difference between Shun and Plantar, there is no other, and there is also between benefit and goodness. ”
Mencius said: "Yang Zi takes 'for me', plucks a hair and benefits the world, not for it." Mozi 'and love', Moding is good for the world. Zi Mo 'sticks to the middle', and the sticking is near. There is no power in the cling, and there is still one in the cling. Those who cling to one evil are also thieves, and they will be abolished by example. ”
Mencius said: "The hungry are willing to eat, and the thirsty are willing to drink, which is the righteousness of the uneaten food, and the harm of hunger and thirst." Is it only hunger and thirst in the stomach? The human heart is also harmful. If a person does not suffer from hunger and thirst, then he is not as good as a person and is not worried. ”
Mencius said: "Liu Xia Hui does not change the three princes. ”
Mencius said: "Those who are promising, if they dig a well, they dig a well for nine times without reaching the spring, and they are like abandoning the well." ”
Mencius said: "Yao Shun, sex is also; Tang Wu, the body also; The five tyrants, the fake. If you don't return for a long time, you don't know what to do? ”
Gongsun Chou said: "Yi Yin said: 'Give not to be unobedient. 'Put Taijia in Tong, the people are happy; Taijia Xian, and vice versa, the people are happy. The sage is also a minister, and his king is not virtuous, so he can be put away? ”
Mencius said: "If you have the ambition of Yiyin, you can; If there is no ambition of Yi Yin, it will be usurped. ”
Gongsun Chou said: "The poem says: 'Not vegetarian meals. 'A gentleman eats without ploughing, why not?' ”
Mencius said: "A gentleman's residence is a country, and his ruler uses it, then he is rich and honorable; His children follow him, and his filial piety is faithful. 'Not vegetarian', which is greater? ”
The prince asked, "What is the matter?" ”
Mencius said: "Shang Zhi." ”
He said, "What is Shangzhi? ”
He said: "Benevolence and righteousness are just that." Killing one is not guilty, and it is not benevolent; It is not righteous to take what is not what it has. Where is the evil? Ren is also. Where is the evil of the road? Righteousness is also. Juren is righteous, and the affairs of adults are prepared. ”
Mencius said: "Zhongzi, injustice and the country are reconciled, and everyone believes in it, which is the righteousness of sacrificing bean soup." People are so great that they have lost their relatives, kings and ministers, and they are up and down. With its small one, believe in its big one, Xi Kezai? ”
Tao Ying asked: "Shun is the Son of Heaven, Gao Tao is a scholar, and he kills people, so what?" ”
Mencius said: "It's just a matter of clinging to it." ”
"Then Shun can't help but be?"
He said: "Fu Shun is so evil that he is forbidden? The husband has something to suffer. ”
"But what about Shun?"
He said: "Shun looks at the world, and abandons it." Flee from the burden, follow the sea, be happy for life, and forget the world. ”
Mencius looked at the son of the king of Qi from Fan Zhiqi, and sighed: "Dwelling and moving qi, nourishing and moving the body, it is a great dwelling!" The son of the husband and the man? Mencius said, "The royal chamber, chariots, horses, and clothes are mostly the same as others, and if the prince is the other, his residence will be the same." What about the people who live in the world? The Song of Lu Jun is called at the gate of Yuanze. The keeper said, 'This is not my king, how can it sound like my king?' There is no other, but there is also a similarity. ”
Mencius said: "Food and love, and friendship with pigs." Love is not respectful, and beasts are also. Those who are respectful, and those who have not yet been convicted. Respectful and unrealistic, a gentleman should not be pretentious. ”
Mencius said: "Shape, nature." But the saint can then practice the form. ”
King Qi Xuan wanted to mourn for a short time. Gongsun Chou said: "The mourning for a period is still more than enough? ”
Mencius said: "It is the arm of Ju or his brother, and the son is called 'Gu Xu Xu' Yun'er." It's just a filial brother who also teaches. ”
The prince had his mother deceased, and his fu asked for months of mourning. Gongsun Chou said: "If this is the case, what is it? ”
He said: "It is the end of the desire and cannot be obtained, although it is more than one day." It is said that the forbiddenness of Fu Mo is also the one who does it. ”
Mencius said: "The reason why a gentleman teaches is that there are those who are like the rain of the times, those who become virtuous, those who are wealthy, those who ask questions, and those who are selfish." These five are the reason why the gentleman teaches them. ”
Gongsun Chou said: "The Tao is high and beautiful, and it is appropriate to be natural, and it seems to be unreachable." Why not make it possible for him to multiply in time? ”
Mencius said: "The master craftsman does not change the waste of rope and ink for clumsy work; Yi does not change its rate for clumsy shooting. The gentleman leads but does not start, and jumps as well. Standing in the middle way, those who can follow it. ”
Mencius said: "There is a way in the world, and you will die with the way; There is no way in the world, and he is martyred. I have not heard of those who have been martyred by the word. ”
Gongduzi said: "Teng Gengzhi is at the door, if he is in the courtesy, and not the thorn, why not?" ”
Mencius said: "Asking for the noble, asking for the virtuous, asking for the long, asking for the meritorious, asking for the reason for it, all of them are not to be asked." Teng is even more different. ”
Mencius said: "Those who have no choice but to do everything are endless." Those who are thick are thin, and everything is thin. Its sharpness, its retreat. ”
Mencius said: "A gentleman is also to things, and love is benevolent; For the people, benevolence and affection. Kiss and benevolent people, benevolent people and love things. ”
Mencius said: "Those who know know everything, and the top priority is urgent; The benevolent people all love it, and they are anxious to do their business. Yao Shun's knowledge is not everywhere, and he is in a hurry. Yao Shun's benevolence is not all lovers, and he is anxious to be virtuous. You can't mourn for three years, and you can't check the small work: let the food flow, and ask the toothless decision: yes, it means that you don't know what to do. ”
