The Master said, "I have not seen a person who loved virtue, or onewho hated what was not virtuous. He who loved virtue, would esteemnothing above it. He who hated what is not virtuous, would practicevirtue in such a way that he would not allow anything that is notvirtuous to approach his person." Is any one able for one day to apply his strength to virtue? I havenot seen the case in which his strength would be insufficient." Should there possibly be any such case, I have not seen it. Confucius
