14-1
君子素其位而行，不愿乎其外。
The superior man does what is proper to the station in which he is; he does not desire to go beyond this.
第14章Chapter 14
14-2
素富贵，行乎富贵；素贫贱，行乎贫贱；素夷狄，行乎夷狄；素患难，行乎患难；君子无入而不自得焉。
In a position of wealth and honor, he does what is proper to a position of wealth and honor. In a poor and low position, he does what is proper to a poor and low position. Situated among barbarous tribes, he does what is proper to a situation among barbarous tribes. In a position of sorrow and difficulty, he does what is proper to a position of sorrow and difficulty. The superior man can find himself in no situation in which he is not himself.
14-3
在上位不陵下，在下位不援上，正己而不求于人则无怨。上不怨天，下不尤人。
In a high situation, he does not treat with contempt his inferiors. In a low situation, he does not court the favor of his superiors. He rectifies himself, and seeks for nothing from others, so that he has no dissatisfactions. He does not murmur against Heaven, nor grumble against men.
14-4
故君子居易以俟命，小人行险以徼幸。
Thus it is that the superior man is quiet and calm, waiting for the appointments of Heaven, while the mean man walks in dangerous paths, looking for lucky occurrences.
14-5
子曰：「射有似乎君子；失诸正鹄，反求诸其身。」
The Master said, "In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself."
