子游问孝，子曰，今之孝者，是谓能养，至于犬马，皆能有养，不敬，何以别乎。
Modern Chinese Guide
子游问什么是孝。孔子说：现在所谓孝，常被理解为能够供养父母。可是犬马也能得到饲养；如果没有敬意，人与犬马的供养又有什么区别呢？
James Legge Translation
Tsze-yu asked what filial piety was. The Master said, "The filial piety of now-a-days means the support of one's parents. But dogs and horses likewise are able to do something in the way of support;—without reverence, what is there to distinguish the one support given from the other?"
