Yang Ho / 23

子路曰，君子尙勇乎。子曰，君子义以为上，君子有勇而无义，为乱，小人有勇而无义，为盗。

Modern Chinese Guide

子路说：君子崇尚勇敢吗？孔子说：君子把道义看作最尊贵的。君子有勇无义，就会作乱；小人有勇无义，就会做强盗。

James Legge Translation

Tsze-lu said, "Does the superior man esteem valour?" The Master said, "The superior man holds righteousness to be of highest importance. A man in a superior situation, having valour without righteousness, will be guilty of insubordination; one of the lower people having valour without righteousness, will commit robbery."
