Isnt it also great when friends visit from distant places? If people do not recognize me and it doesnt bother me, am I not a Superior Man?" 子曰：不患人之不己知，患不知人也。 Confucius said: "I am not bothered by the fact that I am unknown. I am bothered when I do not know others." 子曰：道之以政，齐之以刑，民免而无耻；道之以德，齐之以礼，有耻且格。 Confucius said: "If you govern the people legalistically and control them by punishment, they will avoid crime, but have no personal sense of shame. If you govern them by means of virtue and control them with propriety, they will gain their own sense of shame, and thus correct themselves." 子曰：吾十有五而志于学，三十而立，四十而不惑，五十而知天命，六十而耳顺，七十而从心所欲，不逾矩。 Confucius said: "At fifteen my heart was set on learning; at thirty I stood firm; at forty I had no more doubts; at fifty I knew the mandate of heaven; at sixty my ear was obedient; at seventy I could follow my hearts desire without transgressing the norm." 子曰：温故而知新，可以为师矣。 Confucius said: "Reviewing what you have learned and learning anew, you are fit to be a teacher." 子曰：君子不器。 Confucius said: "The Superior Man is no utensil." 子贡问君子。子曰：先行其言 而后从之。 Tzu Kung asked about the character of the Superior Man. Confucius said, "First he practices what he preaches and then he follows it." 子曰：学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。 Confucius said: "To study and not think is a waste. To think and not study is dangerous." 子曰：由、诲女知之乎。知之为知之，不知为不知，是知也。 Confucius said: "Yu, shall I teach you about knowledge? What you know, you know, what you dont know, you dont know. This is knowledge." 子曰：人而不仁，如礼何？人而不仁，如乐何？ Confucius said: "If a man has no humaneness what can his propriety be like? If a man has no humaneness what can his music be like?"【其他一些有名的文言文英文翻译。】1临渊羡鱼，不如退而结网。 董仲舒·元光之年举贤良对策Better go back and make a net than long for the fish by merely staring into the water.2利天下者，天下启之;害天下者，天下闭之。六韬·发启If you benefit the people of the world, you will attain their support.
