视思明；听思聪；

Confucius said: "Contemplating good, and pursuing it, as if they could not reach it,
孔子曰：“见善如不及，
contemplating evil! and shrinking from it, as they would from thrusting the hand into boiling water; I have seen such men, as I have heard such words.
见不善如探汤；吾见其人矣，吾闻其语矣。
Living in retirement to study their aims, and practicing righteousness to carry out their principles; I have heard these words, but I have not seen such men."
隐居以求其志，行义以达其道；吾闻其语矣，未见其人也。”
