齐景公问政于孔子。孔子对曰，君君，臣臣，父父，子子。公曰，善哉，信如君不君，臣不臣，父不父，子不子，虽有粟，吾得而食诸。

齐景公向孔子请教怎样治理政事。孔子回答说：君主要像君主，臣子要像臣子，父亲要像父亲，儿子要像儿子。景公说：好啊！如果君主不像君主，臣子不像臣子，父亲不像父亲，儿子不像儿子，那么即使有粮食，我还能安然享用它吗？
James Legge Translation
1. The Duke Ching, of Ch'i, asked Confucius about government. 2. Confucius replied, "There is government, when the prince is prince, and the minister is minister; when the father is father, and the son is son." 3. "Good!" said the duke; "if, indeed; the prince be not prince, the minister not minister, the father not father, and the son not son, although I have my revenue, can I enjoy it?"
