Hsien Tsin / 19

子张问善人之道。子曰，不践迹，亦不入于室。

Modern Chinese Guide

子张问怎样才算善人。孔子说：善人不踩着前人的脚印走，但学问道德也难以达到高深的境界。

James Legge Translation

Tsze-chang asked what were the characteristics of the good man. The Master said, "He does not tread in the footsteps of others, but moreover, he does not enter the chamber of the sage."
