Book 8: 《泰伯》 Tai Bo

《泰伯》 Passage 8.6

曾子曰:「可以託六尺之孤,可以寄百里之命,臨大節而不可奪也。君子人與?君子人也。」

Legge Translation (1861)

The philosopher Zeng said: "Suppose that there is an individual who can be entrusted with the charge of a young orphan prince, and can be commissioned with authority over a State of a hundred li, and whom no emergency, however great, can drive from his principles: — is such a man a superior man? He is a superior man indeed."
