Hsio R. / 11

子曰，父在，观其志，父没，观其行，三年无改于父之道，可谓孝矣。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：父亲在世时，观察儿子的志向；父亲去世后，观察儿子的行为。如果多年不改变父亲合乎正道的做法，就可以说是孝了。

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "While a man's father is alive, look at the bent of his will; when his father is dead, look at his conduct. If for three years he does not alter from the way of his father, he may be called filial."
