儒家: 《論語》 (公元前480年 – 公元前350年)

“The Analects of Confucius“ (480-350 BC) English translations by James Legge, or Leonard A. Lyall.

《論語》《憲問》14.28 :

子曰：「君子道者三，我無能焉：仁者不憂，知者不惑，勇者不懼。」子貢曰：「夫子自道也。」

The Master said, “The way of the superior man is threefold, but I am not equal to it:  Virtuous, he is free from anxieties; wise, he is free from perplexities; bold, he is free from fear.” Zi Gong said, “Master, that is what you yourself say.”

【Alternative translation】The Master said, “In the way of the gentleman there are three things that I cannot achieve. Love is never troubled; wisdom has no doubts; courage is without fear. “That is what ye say, Sir,” said Tzu-kung.

【現代漢語翻譯】孔子說：「君子的三種品德我沒做到：仁者不憂、智者不惑、勇者不懼。子貢說：「老師是在說自己呢。」

【试译】孔子说：“君子有三样，是我做不到的：仁慈无忧，明智无疑，勇敢无畏。” 子贡说：“这正是老人家说他自己啊。”
