子曰,君子怀德,小人怀土,君子怀刑,小人怀惠。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说:君子心里念着的是道德,小人心里念着的是田产乡土;君子心里念着的是法度,小人心里念着的是私利实惠。

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "The superior man thinks of virtue; the small man thinks of comfort. The superior man thinks of the sanctions of law; the small man thinks of favours which he may receive."
