大夫曰：「淑好之人，戚施之所妒也；賢知之士，阘茸之所惡也。是以上官大夫短屈原於頃襄，公伯寮愬子路於季孫。夫商君起布衣，自魏入秦，期年而相之，革法明教，而秦人大治。故兵動而地割，兵休而國富。孝公大說，封之於、商之地方五百里，功如丘山，名傳後世。世人不能為，是以相與嫉其能而疵其功也。」

子在陳，曰：「歸與！歸與！吾黨之小子狂簡，斐然成章，不知所以裁之。」

公冶長第五·五之二二

大夫曰：「道懸於天，物布於地，智者以衍，愚者以困。子貢以著積顯於諸侯、陶朱公以貨殖尊於當世。富者交焉，貧者贍焉。故上自人君，下及布衣之士，莫不戴其德，稱其仁。原憲、孔急，當世被饑寒之患，顏回屢空於窮巷，當此之時，迫於窟穴，拘於缊袍，雖欲假財信奸佞，亦不能也。」

愛問：「至善只求諸心，恐於天下事理有不能盡。」 先生曰：「心即理也。天下又有心外之事、心外之理乎？」 愛曰：「如事父之孝、事君之忠、交友之信、治民之仁，其間有許多理在，恐亦不可不察。」 先生嘆曰：「此說之蔽久矣，豈一語所能悟？今姑就所問者言之。且如事父，不成去父上求個孝的理？事君，不成去君上求個忠的理？交友、治民，不成去友上、民上求個信與仁的理？都只在此心，心即理也。此心無私欲之蔽，即是天理，不須外面添一分。以此純乎天理之心：發之事父，便是孝；發之事君，便是忠；發之交友、治民，便是信與仁。只在此心『去人欲、存天理』上用功便是。」 愛曰：「聞先生如此說，愛已覺有省悟處。但舊說纏於胸中，尚有未脫然者。如事父一事，其間溫凊、定省之類，有許多節目，不亦須講求否？」 先生曰：「如何不講求？只是有個頭腦，只是就此心『去人欲、存天理』上講求。就如：講求『冬溫』，也只是要盡此心之孝，恐怕有一毫人欲間雜；講求『夏凊』，也只是要盡此心之孝，恐怕有一毫人欲間雜；只是講求得此心。此心若無人欲，純是天理，是個誠於孝親的心：冬時自然思量父母的寒，便自要求個溫的道理；夏時自然思量父母的熱，便自要求個凊的道理。這都是那誠孝的心發出來的條件。卻是須有這誠孝的心，然後有這條件發出來。譬之樹木，這誠孝的心便是根，許多條件便是枝葉。須先有根，然後有枝葉；不是先尋了枝葉，然後去種根。《禮記》言：『孝子之有深愛者，必有和氣。有和氣者，必有愉色。有愉色者，必有婉容。』須是有個『深愛』做根，便自然如此。」

卷上·第3条

This is a direct reading: the original and source are kept; commentary will be added later.

Shirley was, I believe, sincerely glad of being relieved from so burdensome a charge as the conduct of an army must be to a man unacquainted with military business. I was at the entertainment given by the city of New York to Lord Loudoun, on his taking upon him the command. Shirley, tho' thereby superseded, was present also. There was a great company of officers, citizens, and strangers, and, some chairs having been borrowed in the neighborhood, there was one among them very low, which fell to the lot of Mr. Shirley. Perceiving it as I sat by him, I said, "They have given you, sir, too low a seat." "No matter," says he, "Mr. Franklin, I find a low seat the easiest."
