Hsio R. / 8

子曰，君子不重，则不威，学则不固。主忠信。无友不如己者。过则勿惮改。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：君子不庄重，就没有威严；学习也不会稳固。应当以忠信为主，不和不如自己志向道德的人为友；有了过错，不要害怕改正。

James Legge Translation

1. The Master said, "If the scholar be not grave, he will not call forth any veneration, and his learning will not be solid. 2. "Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles. 3. "Have no friends not equal to yourself. 4. "When you have faults, do not fear to abandon them."
