Confucian Mencius Quotes No. 2: The Benevolent One is Invincible

儒家孟子名言之二：仁者无敌

Cultivate your moral character and everyone can become a sage.

----- Zhuge Changqing

   11: There is a constant saying among men that 'the foundation of the world and the state'. The foundation of the world is the state, the foundation of the state is the home, and the foundation of the home is the body.

   12、The world's so-called unfilial five, inert its four branches, disregard for their parents' upbringing, one unfilial; gaming good drinking, disregard for their parents' upbringing, two unfilial; good goods and wealth, private wife, disregard for their parents' upbringing, three unfilial; from the desire of the ears and eyes, thought parents kill, four unfilial; good brave fight, to endanger parents, five unfilial.　

   13. The man of benevolence is invincible. (A benevolent man is invincible to the world.) 

   14 The old man is as old as his people; the young man is as young as his people.

   15. All men can be Yao and Shun. (Everyone can be a good person like Yao Shun.)

   16. All men have a heart of compassion; all men have a heart of shame and evil; all men have a heart of respect; all men have a heart of right and wrong. A heart of compassion is benevolence; a heart of shame and evil is righteousness; a heart of respect is propriety; a heart of right and wrong is wisdom.

   17. A gentleman does not complain against heaven, but does not blame others. (A gentleman does not complain about heaven and does not blame people.) 

   18. A man who gains the way is much helped, but a man who loses the way is little helped. If he is not helped, his kinsmen will be by him; if he is helped, the world will be obedient.

   19. He who delights in the pleasures of the people will also delight in them; he who worries about the worries of the people will also worry about them. He who delights in the world and worries about the world, and yet is not king, is not there.

     20. Those who are hungry are willing to eat, and those who are thirsty are willing to drink, but they have not yet attained the right kind of food.

Zhuge Changqing wishes all those who have the good fortune to honour their parents, do good deeds, give food, and donate scriptures for printing, great fortune and good fortune.

修身养德，人人皆可以成为圣贤。

----- 诸葛长青

   11、人有恒言，皆曰‘天下国家’。天下之本在国，国之本在家，家之本在身。

   12、世俗所谓不孝者五，惰其四支，不顾父母之养，一不孝也；博奕好饮酒，不顾父母之养，二不孝也；好货财，私妻子，不顾父母之养，三不孝也；从耳目之欲，以为父母戮，四不孝也；好勇斗狠，以危父母，五不孝也。　
   13、仁者无敌。（仁德的人是无敌于天下的。） 
   14　老吾老，以及人之老；幼吾幼，以及人之幼。

   15、人皆可以为尧舜。（人人都可以当尧舜这样的好人。）

   16、恻隐之心，人皆有之；羞恶之心，人皆有之；恭敬之心，人皆有之；是非之心，人皆有之。恻隐之心，仁也；羞恶之心，义也；恭敬之心，礼也；是非之心，智也。

   17、君子不怨天，不尤人。（君子不抱怨天，不责怪人。） 
   18、得道者多助，失道者寡助。寡助之至，亲戚畔之；多助之至，天下顺之。

   19、 乐民之乐者，民亦乐其乐；忧民之忧者，民亦忧其忧。乐以天下，忧以天下，然而不王者，未之有也。

     20、饥者甘食，渴者甘饮，是未得饮食之正也。

诸葛长青祝福天下孝敬父母、行善积德、放生施食、捐印经书的有缘者富贵吉祥、福报巨大。
