子曰，人而无信，不知其可也，大车无𫐐，小车无𫐄，其何以行之哉。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：一个人如果没有信用，我不知道他怎么能行得通。就像大车没有车轭上的横木，小车没有连接马的关键部件，车怎么能走呢？

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "I do not know how a man without truthfulness is to get on. How can a large carriage be made to go without the cross-bar for yoking the oxen to, or a small carriage without the arrangement for yoking the horses?"
