CHAPTER VIII.
1. Confucius said, 'There are three things of
which the superior man stands in awe. He stands in awe of the ordinances of
Heaven. He stands in awe of great men. He stands in awe of the words of
sages.
2. 'The mean man does not know the ordinances
of Heaven, and consequently does not stand in awe of them. He is disrespectful
to great men. He makes sport of the words of sages.'
