第十三章

1. 子曰:「篤信好學,守死善道。

2. 危邦不入,亂邦不居。天下有道則見,無道則隱。

3. 邦有道,貧且賤焉,恥也。邦無道,富且貴焉,恥也。」

CHAPTER XIII.

1. The Master said, 'With sincere faith he unites the love of learning; holding firm to death, he is perfecting the excellence of his course.

2. 'Such an one will not enter a tottering State, nor dwell in a disorganized one. When right principles of government prevail in the kingdom, he will show himself; when they are prostrated, he will keep concealed.

3. 'When a country is well governed, poverty and a mean condition are things to be ashamed of. When a country is ill-governed, riches and honour are things to be ashamed of.'
