THE ANALECTS of CONFUCIUS

Confucius as attributed by Lao Zi, translated by James Legge

Part 2, The Virtue;

The Master said, "If the people be led by laws,

and uniformity sought to be given them by punishments,

they will try to avoid the punishment,

but have no sense of shame.

"If they be led by virtue, and uniformity sought

to be given them by the rules of propriety,

they will have the sense of shame,

and moreover will become good."
