Kung-ye Ch'ang / 15

子谓子产，有君子之道四焉，其行己也恭，其事上也敬，其养民也惠，其使民也义。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子谈到子产，说：他有四种合乎君子的品德：他自身的行为庄重谦恭，他侍奉君上恭敬谨慎，他养护百姓有恩惠，他役使百姓合乎道义。

James Legge Translation

The Master said of Tsze-ch'an that he had four of the characteristics of a superior man:—in his conduct of himself, he was humble; in serving his superiors, he was respectful; in nourishing the people, he was kind; in ordering the people, he was just."
