Modern Chinese Guide

子张向孔子问仁。孔子说：能在天下推行五种品德，就是仁了。子张请问是哪五种。孔子说：恭敬、宽厚、诚信、勤敏、慈惠。恭敬就不会招致侮辱，宽厚就能得到众人拥护，诚信就能得到别人的任用，勤敏就能取得成效，慈惠就能够使唤别人。

James Legge Translation

Tsze-chang asked Confucius about perfect virtue. Confucius said, "To be able to practise five things everywhere under heaven constitutes perfect virtue." He begged to ask what they were, and was told, "Gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness. If you are grave, you will not be treated with disrespect. If you are generous, you will win all. If you are sincere, people will repose trust in you. If you are earnest, you will accomplish much. If you are kind, this will enable you to employ the services of others.
