Book 17: 《陽貨》 Yang Huo

《陽貨》 Passage 17.23

子路曰:「君子尚勇乎?」子曰:「君子義以為上。君子有勇而無義為亂,小人有勇而無義為盜。」

Legge Translation (1861)

Zilu said: "Does the superior man esteem valor?"

The Master said: "The superior man holds righteousness to be of supreme importance. A superior man having valor without righteousness will be guilty of insubordination; one of the lower people having valor without righteousness will commit robbery."
