The Analects of Confucius (from the Chinese Classics)

Is he not a man of complete virtue, who feels no discomposure though men may take no note of him?

一个完全有德行的人，即使人们不注意他，他也不会感到不安，这样的人难道不是吗？

The philosopher Yu said, 'They are few who, being filial and fraternal, are fond of offending against their superiors.'

有子说：“孝顺父母、尊敬兄长却喜欢冒犯上级的人是很少的。”
