Confucius' grandson comments about the Way and human nature. Tr. Legge (en)
In a high situation, he does not treat with contempt his inferiors. In a low situation, he does not court the favor of his superiors. He rectifies himself, and seeks for nothing from others, so that he has no dissatisfactions. He does not murmur against Heaven, nor grumble against men.
Legge XIV.3.
所以君子能安处自己的环境来等待天命的安排,小人则冒险来妄求得到侥幸于万一。
