| + | |||
| + | 君子嚴如介石 而畏其難親 鮮不以明珠爲怪物 而起按劍之心，\\ | ||
| + | 小人滑如脂膏 而喜其易合 鮮不以毒螫爲甘飴 而縱染指之欲。 | ||
| + | |||
| + | A virtuous person is upstanding as stone, | ||
| + | and those intimidated by their reserve\\ | ||
| + | treat them as a monster and not a treasure, | ||
| + | giving rise to a desire to harm.\\ | ||
| + | A small-minded person is smooth as grease, | ||

| + | |||
| + | When your heart is warm as spring winds, | ||
| + | even without a coin to line your pocket\\ | ||
| + | you have compassion to spare for the forsaken.\\ | ||
| + | When your bearing is unclouded as autumn streams, | ||
| + | though your home may barely field four walls\\ | ||
| + | you will scoff at kings and lords in their glory. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ### 30. Spending thousands... | ||
| + | |||
| + | 費千金 而結納賢豪 孰若傾半瓢之粟 以濟飢餓之人，\\ | ||
| + | 構千楹 而招來賓客 孰若葺數椽之茅 以庇孤寒之士。 | ||
| + | |||
| + | Spending thousands in gold to befriend scholars and heroes\\ | ||
| + | cannot compare to sparing half a bowl of grain\\ | ||
| + | to the succor of the starving. | ||
| + | Raising a thousand pillars to entertain a legion of guests\\ | ||
| + | cannot compare to thatching a few humble roofs\\ | ||
| + | to shelter those impoverished in their virtue. | ||
