《憲問》 Passage 14.12
子路問成人。子曰:「若臧武仲之知,公綽之不欲,卞莊子之勇,冉求之藝,文之以禮樂,亦可以為成人矣。」曰:「今之成人者何必然?見利思義,見危授命,久要不忘平生之言,亦可以為成人矣。」
Legge Translation (1861)
The Master said: "Meng Gongchuo is more than satisfied to be chief officer in the families of Zhao and Wei, but he could not be fit to be a great officer in a small State like Teng or Xue."
