子夏曰：“日知其所亡，月无忘其所能，可谓好学也已矣。”

Zi Xia said,“If a man knows what he has not yet learned everyday and does not forget what he has learned every month, he may be said to be a lover of knowledge.”

子夏曰：“博学而笃志，切问而近思，仁在其中矣。”

Zi Xia said,“If a man studies in a wide range and with an unswerving aim, if he asks questions earnestly and reflects on closely related problems, he may be said to have good qualities in him.”

子夏曰：“小人之过也必文。”

Zi Xia said,“An uncultured man would certainly gloss his faults.”

子夏曰：“君子有三变：望之俨然，即之也温，听其言也厉。”

Zi Xia said,“An intelligentleman has three different aspects: when seen from afar, he looks grave; when approached, he looks affable; when listened to, he looks dignified.”

子夏曰：“君子信而后劳其民，未信，则以为厉己也；信而后谏，未信，则以为谤己也。”

Zi Xia said,“An intelligentleman will not order the people to toil until he is trusted, or they will think they are exploited. He will not criticize the sovereign till he wins his confidence, or the sovereign will think himself vilified.”

子夏曰：“大德不逾闲，小德出入可也。”

Zi Xia said,“In regard to a serious matter of virtue, a man should not go beyond the limit; but in regard to a trifling matter, he may not keep within limit.”
