Pa Yih / 26

子曰，居上不宽，为礼不敬，临丧不哀，吾何以观之哉。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：居于上位而不宽厚待人，行礼时又不恭敬，遇到丧事又不哀痛，这样的人我还能看出他什么可取之处呢？

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "High station filled without indulgent generosity; ceremonies performed without reverence; mourning conducted without sorrow;—wherewith should I contemplate such ways?"
