子曰：“过而不改，是谓过矣。”

子曰：“君子谋道不谋食。耕也馁在其中矣，

The Master said, "When a man's knowledge is sufficient to attain, and his virtue is not sufficient to enable him to hold, whatever he may have gained, he will lose again;
子曰：“知及之，仁不能守之，虽得之，必失之；
When his knowledge is sufficient to attain, and he has virtue enough to hold fast, if he cannot govern with dignity, the people will not respect him;

When his knowledge is sufficient to attain, and he has virtue enough to hold fast;
知及之，仁能守之；
When he governs also with dignity, yet if he try to move the people contrary to the rules of propriety, full excellence is not reached."
庄以莅之，动之不以礼，未善也。”
