Lunyu IV. 2. (68)

Only true virtue adapts a man for the varied conditions of life.
The Master said, "Those who are without virtue cannot abide long either in a condition of poverty and hardship, or in a condition of enjoyment. The virtuous rest in virtue; the wise desire virtue."

Legge IV.2.

The Master said, 'One who is not benevolent cannot remain long straitened circumstances, nor can he remain long in easy circum- stances. "The benevolent man is attracted to benevolence because he feels at home in it. The wise man is attracted to benevolence because he finds it to his advantage.'

Lau [4:2]

Le Maître dit : « Un homme dépourvu d'humanité ne peut demeurer longtemps dans le malheur ou dans le bonheur. L'homme honorable trouve la paix dans la vertu d'humanité ; l'homme sage en connaît tout le profit. »

Couvreur IV.2.

2. Nabi bersabda, "Seorang yang tidak berperi Cinta Kasih, tidak tahan lama di dalam penderitaan, dan tidak tahan lama di dalam kesenangan. Seorang yang berperi Cinta Kasih, merasakan sentosa di dalam Cinta Kasih dan seorang yang Bijaksana, merasakan beruntung di dalam Cinta Kasih ".
