子张曰,士,见危致命,见得思义,祭思敬,丧思哀,其可已矣。

子张说:读书人遇到危难能献出生命,见到有利可得能想到道义,祭祀时能想到恭敬,居丧时能想到哀痛,这样也就可以了。
James Legge Translation
Tsze-chang said, "The scholar, trained for public duty, seeing threatening danger, is prepared to sacrifice his life. When the opportunity of gain is presented to him, he thinks of righteousness. In sacrificing, his thoughts are reverential. In mourning, his thoughts are about the grief which he should feel. Such a man commands our approbation indeed."
