仲尼曰：「君子中庸，小人反中庸。
Zhong-ni said, "The superior man embodies the course of the Mean; the mean man acts contrary to the course of the Mean.
第2章Chapter 2
2-2
君子之中庸也，君子而时中；小人之中庸也，小人而无忌惮也。」
The superior man's embodying the course of the Mean is because he is a superior man, and so always maintains the Mean. The mean man's acting contrary to the course of the Mean is because he is a mean man, and has no caution."
