孔子说:君子有九种要用心思考的事:看的时候要想着看清楚,听的时候要想着听明白,脸色要想着温和,容貌要想着恭敬,说话要想着忠诚,做事要想着严肃认真,遇到疑问要想着请教别人,将要发怒要想着可能引起的后患,看见有利可得要想着是否合乎义。
James Legge Translation
Confucius said, "The superior man has nine things which are subjects with him of thoughtful consideration. In regard to the use of his eyes, he is anxious to see clearly. In regard to the use of his ears, he is anxious to hear distinctly. In regard to his countenance, he is anxious that it should be benign. In regard to his demeanor, he is anxious that it should be respectful. In regard to his speech, he is anxious that it should be sincere. In regard to his doing of business, he is anxious that it should be reverently careful. In regard to what he doubts about, he is anxious to question others. When he is angry, he thinks of the difficulties (his anger may involve him in). When he sees gain to be got, he thinks of righteousness."
