19[1]

The superior man, in revering a man's virtue and holding up a
man's excellencies is not speaking flattery; nor in correcting speech
and rectifying conduct, nor in pointing out a man's faults is he
picking flaws. He is pliant and docile,[2] strong and resolute.[3]
Everywhere moving with events, he does not go outside the Way
and virtue. The Ode says,[4]

211

He does not devour the soft,
Or eject the powerful.
He does not insult the poor or the widow;
He does not fear the strong or the oppressive.

Abridged from Hsün-tzŭ 2.3b-4b.

[2]

Hsün-tzŭ has "That he bends and straightens with the times and is yielding as a
reed is not due to cowardice." [OMITTED].

[3]

Ibid: "That there is no place into which he does not extend his strength and
resolution is not due to arrogance." [OMITTED].

Shih 544 No. 260/5.
