Wei Ling Kung / 17

子曰，君子义以为质，礼以行之，孙以出之，信以成之。君子哉。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：君子把道义作为立身的根本，依照礼来实行它，用谦逊的态度说出它，靠诚信来成全它。这才是君子啊。

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "The superior man in everything considers righteousness to be essential. He performs it according to the rules of propriety. He brings it forth in humility. He completes it with sincerity. This is indeed a superior man."
