《憲問》 Passage 14.36
公伯寮愬子路於季孫。子服景伯以告，曰：「夫子固有惑志於公伯寮，吾力猶能肆諸市朝。」子曰：「道之將行也與？命也。道之將廢也與？命也。公伯寮其如命何！」
Legge Translation (1861)
Gongbo Liao, having slandered Jilu to the head of the Ji family, Zifu Jingbo informed Confucius of it, saying: "Our master is certainly being led astray by Gongbo Liao, but I have still power enough left to cut Liao off, and expose his corpse in the market and in the court."The Master said: "If my principles are to advance, it is so ordered. If they are to fall to the ground, it is so ordered. What can Gongbo Liao do where such ordering is concerned?"
