XXV. How from sincerity comes self-completion, and the completion of others and of things.

Zhongyong XXV. 2.

Sincerity is the end and beginning of things; without sincerity there would be nothing. On this account, the superior man regards the attainment of sincerity as the most excellent thing.

Legge XXV.2.

诚,不仅仅只成就自己便算了,还要使别人也同样有成就。成就自己是仁德,成就别人是智慧。这都是天赋的德性,内则成己,外则成物,这是综合内外的规律,因此随时施行无不合宜。
