Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：有德行的人，一定有好的言论；有好言论的人，却不一定有德行。仁德的人一定勇敢，勇敢的人却不一定有仁德。

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "The virtuous will be sure to speak correctly, but those whose speech is good may not always be virtuous. Men of principle are sure to be bold, but those who are bold may not always be men of principle."
