颜渊季路侍。子曰，盍各言尔志。子路曰，愿车马，衣轻裘，与朋友共，蔽之而无憾。颜渊曰，愿无伐善，无施劳。子路曰，愿闻子之志。子曰，老者安之，朋友信之，少者怀之。

颜渊、子路侍立在孔子身旁。孔子说：何不各自说说你们的志向呢？子路说：我愿意把自己的车马、衣服皮袍拿出来和朋友共同使用，就算用坏了也没有什么遗憾。颜渊说：我愿意不夸耀自己的长处，不表白自己的功劳。子路说：希望听听老师您的志向。孔子说：我愿意使老年人得到安养，使朋友之间相互信任，使年轻人得到关怀。
James Legge Translation
1. Yen Yuan and Chi Lu being by his side, the Master said to them, "Come, let each of you tell his wishes." 2. Tsze-lu said, "I should like, having chariots and horses, and light fur dresses, to share them with my friends, and though they should spoil them, I would not be displeased." 3. Yen Yuan said, "I should like not to boast of my excellence, nor to make a display of my meritorious deeds." 4. Tsze-lu then said, "I should like, sir, to hear your wishes." The Master said, "They are, in regard to the aged, to give them rest; in regard to friends, to show them sincerity; in regard to the young, to treat them tenderly."
