Le Jin / 11

子曰，君子怀德，小人怀土，君子怀刑，小人怀惠。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：君子心里念着的是道德，小人心里念着的是田产乡土；君子心里念着的是法度，小人心里念着的是私利实惠。

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "The superior man thinks of virtue; the small man thinks of comfort. The superior man thinks of the sanctions of law; the small man thinks of favours which he may receive."
