原文
有子曰:“信近于义,言可复也。恭近于礼,远耻辱也。因不失其亲,亦可宗也。”
英译
Yu-Tze said, "Only by conforming integrity to the righteousness can one's discourse be put into practice consistently; only by conforming humility to the propriety can one keep away from any kind of insult. If, as a follower, one keeps developing a social network of clan, he or she is also well capable of leadership."
