12086	Since we are husband and wife,he said impatiently,"why do we not sleep under the same blanket?"
12086	The small Eternal Life? 12086 Then how much must he give to take me away?"

12086	Ya- nei? 12086 You are not very eager, then?"
12086	You have succeeded in rising, my elder brother?
12086	You wish to go? 12086 Your Honorable Favor has doubtless some admirable plan?"
12086	After a moment she continued:"Shall I tell you the name of your illness?
12086	Also, if you say nothing, who will know of it?"
12086	And in what manner are these prayers made?"
12086	And then frighten us with your illness?
12086	And what is your first name which one does not presume to repeat?"
12086	And what would people say of me afterwards?"
12086	Are you able to come back again, when even I am so tired?"
12086	Are you not betrothed?"
12086	Are you not hungry?
12086	Are you trying to insult me by expressing a wish to prove my words?"
12086	At last he answered:"What, in your enlightened opinion, ought I to do?"
12086	Bewildered and not knowing what to do, he turned to Eternal Life and asked:"How can you say that I have been intimate with you?
12086	But about the rest?"
12086	But at last she said:"What man are you who dare to take my sister- in- law''s place?"
12086	But he was seized by a whirl of cold snow, and called to the dog:"What are you barking for, O animal of the Gods?"
12086	But how do these slippers come here, for they have already been worn?"
12086	But how much would you need?"
12086	But if the young girl should call out?
12086	But it was always dark, and how can I be sure?
12086	But what will become of me alone?"
12086	But will your honorable father be satisfied?"
12086	But, though he is there now, where will he be tomorrow?
12086	By what blunder of the gods had this piece of flawless jade fallen in the windy dust, among the flowers beneath the willow?
12086	Could I not have a letter from Ya- nei on his arrival?"
12086	Could he have committed this double crime in his sleep?
12086	Dare you say it is not true?"
12086	Did you not confess all before the judge?
12086	Did you not match the pair of my embroidered slippers?"
12086	Did you not throw your handkerchief?
12086	Did you see her?"
12086	Do not fly into a rage, but answer me: what happened after ma- ma Lu had visited you?"
12086	Do you believe that I could be a murderer?
12086	Do you wish me to act as the go- between for your marriage?
12086	Do you wish to make us a laughing- stock?"
12086	Each of them cried:"Uncle, how could you do such a thing?"
12086	Elegant watched him with astonishment, and asked him in a low voice:"Is that still too little?"
12086	Eternal Life answered in irritation:"Did you not look at me with lecherous eyes under my window?
12086	For what did you take me?
12086	Had your father an enemy?"
12086	Has my Lord made a decision on this point?"
12086	Have you come to some arrangement with her on this point?"
12086	Have you found the hundred and fifty ounces?"
12086	He asked her:"On which pillow would you like to sleep?
12086	He brought his lips close to the delicate ear lying beside him, and whispered:"Why are you so bashful?
12086	He only answered with a flood of tears; so she insisted:"Can people have been so hard as to refuse three hundred ounces?"
12086	He repeated:"Is it I?
12086	He thought:"How does he already know what happened in my house but yesterday?"
12086	His emotion began to rise, and he asked:"How many flowering Springtides have you known?"
12086	His mother opened the door to him, and cried in terror:"Have you stolen the corpse also?"
12086	How can I manage to see this bird?"
12086	How can I tell him how to find me again?"
12086	How can he be here?"
12086	How comes it that she is not further developed?"
12086	How could I have avoided this?"
12086	How could he endure such torture?
12086	How could she have a forbidden love?
12086	How could you get in?
12086	How could your prudent relatives and valuable friends fail to share the views of your honorable father?
12086	How dare you deny it?"
12086	How did you kill her father and her mother?"
12086	How is it that you want to eat all that?"
12086	How shall I ensure our happiness, when my father has broken with me?
12086	How shall I set about making known my thought to him?"
12086	How should I dare not to keep my word?
12086	How should I not be glad of this offer?"
12086	If anything is the matter, we must discuss it Why do you hide your sorrow from me?"
12086	If he spent the borrowed money on"tinted faces,"would not his father bear a grudge against those who lent it?
12086	If his plan is good, why should I not agree to it?"
12086	If there were a mistake, would you leave him to die?"
12086	If you beat her, all the neighbors will know, and who would wish to marry her?
12086	If you kill her, what will be left to us?
12086	In his emotion and fear, he cried:"Are you not dead, my darling?"
12086	In the darkness, and in such emotion, how could that mistake be known?
12086	In the middle of the night he awoke and gave another deep sigh; and she said to him:"What is this difficult matter with which my Lord is troubled?
12086	In this way he fell into the trap set by Sun, who hastened to salute him, asking:"Old- Elder- Brother, what is your honorable name?
12086	Instead of leaving them to enrich the earth, would it not be better to take them?"
12086	Is it not a fitting time to drink and rejoice, so as to forget our former sorrows?
12086	Is not my turn coming?"
12086	Is not this the house of Fan and Erh- lang?"
12086	Is she not an Immortal from the Jasper Lake Or from the Moon Palace?
12086	Is she not charming?
12086	Is that not strange?
12086	Is the matter so in truth?
12086	Is there no son of decent family who would marry her?
12086	Lord Wang pointed out the guilty ones, and caused them to be put in chains, asking:"Whence come these marks of red and black upon you?"
12086	Meanwhile the nurse objected:"But what can they say there?
12086	My uncle, what brings you?"
12086	Otherwise, must I not die in order to redeem my shame?"
12086	Ought he to kill her?
12086	She approached the bench where he sat, and he took her hand:"How can I have been so foolish as to fear you?"
12086	She asked him:"Has it been very difficult?
12086	She called him:"Have you a little honey- water?"
12086	She felt him gently move her leg to one side, and then she made as though to wake saying:"Who are you who come in the night and insult me?"
12086	She has very well kept him company, has she not?"
12086	She herself went to the room where the nurse was, and asked:"Has our new daughter''s mother something to say to us?"
12086	She then undid her husband''s clothes and, leaning on the pillow, gently asked him:"What news have you heard that has so upset you?"
12086	The Governor smiled:"Then it is only the cells which these two women occupied that have secret passages?"
12086	The latter looked at him intently, and harshly asked:"How did you enter into an intrigue with P''an''s daughter?
12086	The lower one?"
12086	The sick man was startled and sat up:"How do you know that?"
12086	The unhappy man wept, saying:"What must I write?
12086	Then he denied the matter:"Kinsman, whence come these words with which you are trying to sully my family?"
12086	Then in the middle of the night she asked:"If you can not find three hundred ounces to free me, what are we to do?"
12086	Then will not the temporary residence of your Honorable Favor become a permanent one?
12086	They looked at each other in dismay:"What are we going to do now?"
12086	They quickly put on their garments, and came to kneel before the Governor, who asked them:"What did you see during the night?
12086	Was it not strangely fortunate that Prudence''s mother should herself have come and let her in this manner to his bed?
12086	Was it you who killed her?"
12086	Was this departure genuine, now, or but pretended?
12086	We might imagine that your family had changed its intention....""At least, can I see the invalid?"
12086	What are these sighings?"
12086	What are you afraid of?
12086	What can we do?"
12086	What could she do, she who was thus deprived of the money and the pledge of love?
12086	What have you done?"
12086	What have you to say?"
12086	What is it you desire?"
12086	What is the illness?"
12086	What is the use of arguing it?
12086	What is your plan, ma- ma?"
12086	What shall we do?"
12086	What will become of us, now that we have no trace of visitors?"
12086	What will happen if people come to know of it?"
12086	When I saw him beneath the moon, why had I not wings to fly to him?
12086	When she was alone with Li Chia, Shih- niang asked:"Where shall we go when we have left the capital?
12086	Where are the thousand ounces?"
12086	Where does he come from?
12086	Where will you find clothes and food?
12086	Where, then, shall we two, floating with the current, come to our anchorage?
12086	Who is the little girl who has such feet?
12086	Who would be content with three hundred ounces for such a beauty?
12086	Who would have thought of troubling to examine the two new arrivals?
12086	Who would have thought your faith so shallow, that, on the strength of a chance conversation, you would consent to lose my loyal heart?
12086	Who would have ventured out there?
12086	Whose was that voice?"
12086	Why are you resting like this?"
12086	Why could she not meet some charming companion, some phoenix worthy of her?
12086	Why did she make the mistake of loving Li Chia?
12086	Why did you show it me?"
12086	Why do you fear to speak?"
12086	Why do you show such grief to- day, when we are about to cross the river and to taste the joy of a hundred years?
12086	Why have you committed acts of which Celestial Reason disapproves?"
12086	Why should you cut my parents''throats, and cause my death?"
12086	Why were you weeping?"
12086	Why, then, do you hang such words to your/ teeth?"
12086	Why, then, must the women also go and pass the night in the temple?
12086	Will you hear it?"
12086	Will you not consent to favor me with a song?"
12086	Will you not consent to help me?"
12086	Will you, please, feel his pulse?"
12086	With what object are you trying to encompass my ruin?"
12086	Would it not be better for us to go to him, and to keep to our boat while you pray your friends to go and ask for a harmonious reconciliation?
12086	Would it not be better to send him back with a letter to Wu, requiring gifts of betrothal?
12086	Would it not be better to tell Prudence to go and keep her company?"
12086	Would it not be my venerable brother''s pleasure that we should go to a riverside pavilion and divert ourselves by drinking wine?"
12086	Would it not be safer?"
12086	Would not the neighbors know it?"
12086	Wu asked him:"How many sons have you, O Old- Man- Born- Before- Me?"
12086	You leave a beautiful woman to live there all alone: can you guarantee that none will climb her wall or penetrate her dwelling?
12086	You to whom I owe so much, what do you say?"
12086	Your suffering rises from that; is it not so?"
10056	''A Sage and a Philanthropist?'' 10056 ''His words-- uttered with difficulty?''"
10056	''Who can give it to him?'' 10056 A rude life,"said some one;--"how could you put up with it?"
10056	Am I, indeed,said the Master,"possessed of knowledge?
10056	And after enriching them, what more would you do for them?
10056	And are not those who, while not comprehending all that is said, still remain not unpleased to hear, men of the superior order?
10056	And can he be said to be wise who, with a liking for taking part in the public service, is constantly letting slip his opportunities?
10056	And if you are obliged to give up one of the remaining two, which would it be?
10056	And what call you the five excellences?
10056	And with you, Kung- si, how would it be?
10056	And with you, Tsang Sin?
10056	And you, too, Tsz- kung,he continued,"have your aversions, have you not?"
10056	Are such available?
10056	As to those of whom you are uncertain, will others omit to notice them?
10056	But Yen, then-- he had a State in view, had he not?
10056	But had not Kung- si also a State in view?
10056	But two tithings would not be enough for my purposes,said the duke;"what would be the good of applying the Statute?"
10056	But was he a man of fellow- feeling?
10056	But was he a man of fellow- feeling?
10056	But was not Kwan Chung wanting in good- will? 10056 But,"he asked,"how am I to know the sagacious and talented, before promoting them?"
10056	But,said the disciple,"if you can not really have all three, and one has to be given up, which would you give up first?"
10056	Can any do otherwise than assent to words said to them by way of correction? 10056 Can it be so?"
10056	Ch''ang,said he,"is wanton; where do you get at his inflexibleness?"
10056	Does Heaven ever speak?
10056	Does a gentleman,asked Tsz- lu,"make much account of bravery?"
10056	Does that make them''superior men''?
10056	From what do you know that I am competent to that?
10056	Had they any feelings of resentment?
10056	He knew the Rules of Propriety, I suppose?
10056	He of Lu?
10056	How is it possible indeed to serve one''s prince in their company? 10056 How shall I dare,"he replied,"even to look at Hwúi?
10056	How should I dare to die,said he,"while you, sir, still lived?"
10056	How should such a rule of life,asked the Master,"be sufficient to make any one good?"
10056	How then,he answered,"would you requite kindness?
10056	How would you describe those who are at present in the government service?
10056	How,exclaimed the Master,"can such words be appropriated in the ancestral hall of the Three Families?"
10056	If I were to take a raft, and drift about on the sea, would Tsz- lu, I wonder, be my follower there?
10056	If the''superior man''make nought of social good feeling, how shall he fully bear that name? 10056 If you would know one who without effort ruled well, was not Shun such a one?
10056	If your Majesty say,''What is to be done to profit my kingdom?'' 10056 If your Majesty wishes to carry out a benevolent government, why not turn back to what is the essential step to its attainment?
10056	In the Declaration of T''ang it is said,''O Sun, when wilt thou expire? 10056 Is it not this,"he replied--"to make that which is of benefit to the people still more beneficial?
10056	Is it so bad as that?
10056	Is not this apropos in such cases?
10056	Is that the case with him?
10056	Is that what is meant by proper regard for one''s fellow- creatures?
10056	Is the philanthropic spirit far to seek, indeed?
10056	Is there, then,he asked,"one sentence which, if acted upon, would have the effect of ruining a country?"
10056	May I ask, please, what these are?
10056	May I presume,said his questioner,"to ask what sort you would put next to such?"
10056	May I still venture to ask whom you would place next in order?
10056	May they not be of use to the villages and hamlets around you?
10056	Nothing more than that?
10056	O Heaven, what crimes have we to own, That death and ruin still come down? 10056 Of that I am not sure,"he answered;"how am I to get at that?"
10056	Of that I am not sure,he replied;"how am I to get at that?"
10056	Of what sort?
10056	Once, though, he was standing alone when I was hurrying past him over the vestibule, and he said,''Are you studying the Odes?'' 10056 Say you, is there any one who is able for one whole day to apply the energy of his mind to this virtue?
10056	Sir,replied Confucius,"in the administration of government why resort to capital punishment?
10056	Sir,said Tsz- kung,"how comes it to pass that no one knows you?"
10056	Sir,said Tsz- kung,"if you were never to speak, what should your pupils have to hand down from you?"
10056	So far as I have to do with others, whom do I over- censure? 10056 So then Tsz- chang is the better of the two, is he?"
10056	Suppose that he take his duty to his fellow- men as his peculiar burden, is that not indeed a heavy one? 10056 Take Tsz- hwa, then; what of him?"
10056	That is the man,said he,"who knows things are not up to the mark, and is making some ado about them, is it not?"
10056	That, and yet no more?
10056	There is Yu''s harpsichord,exclaimed the Master--"what is it doing at my door?"
10056	Those men are right,they fiercely say,"What mean your words so bold?"
10056	Those men are right,they fiercely say,"What mean your words so loud?"
10056	To have associates in study coming to one from distant parts-- does not this also mean pleasure in store? 10056 Tsz- lu,"said the Master,"you have heard of the six words with their six obfuscations?"
10056	Was he miserly?
10056	Was not Tsang Wan like one who surreptitiously came by the post he held? 10056 Well, are they then,"he asked,"such as will follow their leader?"
10056	Well, is not putting duty first, and success second, a way of raising the standard of virtue? 10056 What are ancestral temples and Grand Receptions, but for the feudal lords to take part in?
10056	What harm?
10056	What mean you,asked Tsz- chang,"by bounty without extravagance?"
10056	What rudeness would there be,he replied,"if a''superior man''was living in their midst?"
10056	What say you then of Yen Yu?
10056	What says your Master?
10056	What, I wonder, do you mean by one who is influential?
10056	What, then, do you call the four evils?
10056	What, then, if they all disliked him?
10056	When there is ability in a ruler to govern a country by adhering to the Rules of Propriety, and by kindly condescension, what is wanted more? 10056 Where a man,"said he again,"has not the proper feelings due from one man to another, how will he stand as regards the Rules of Propriety?
10056	Where from?
10056	Where there is difficulty in doing,the Master replied,"will there not be some difficulty in utterance?"
10056	Who can go out but by that door? 10056 Why did you smile at Tsz- lu, sir?"
10056	Why must you name Káu- tsung?
10056	Why not apply the Tithing Statute?
10056	Why should he really do so?
10056	Why so late?
10056	Why so much ado,said the Master,"at my merely permitting his approach, and not rather at my allowing him to draw back?
10056	With one who does not come to me inquiring''What of this?'' 10056 Yen,"said Confucius,"does not the fault lie with you?
10056	Yen,said he,"how would it be with you?"
10056	You are a follower of Confucius of Lu, are you not?
10056	''Etiquette demands it,''so people plead,"said he;"but do not these hankerings after jewels and silks indeed demand it?
10056	--"I do,"he replied;"is it not so?"
10056	--"Too much?"
10056	A high State official, after questioning Tsz- kung, said,"Your Master is a sage, then?
10056	A person remarked to him,"Can you not yet bear to withdraw?"
10056	Abruptly he asked me,''How can the kingdom, all under the sky, be settled?''
10056	Addressing Tsz- kung, the Master said,"Which of the two is ahead of the other-- yourself or Hwúi?"
10056	Addressing Tsz- kung, the Master said,"You regard me as one who studies and stores up in his mind a multiplicity of things-- do you not?"
10056	Afterwards, when Fan Ch''i was driving him, the Master informed him of this question and answer, and Fan Ch''i asked,"What was your meaning?"
10056	Again,"Let a ruler but see to his own rectitude, and what trouble will he then have in the work before him?
10056	Alluding to the matter of the Chief of the Ki family worshipping on Tai- shan,[ 7] the Master said to Yen Yu,"Can not you save him from this?"
10056	Although I do not go to you, Why from all word do you refrain?
10056	Although I do not go to you, Yet why to me should you not come?
10056	Although he had his tower, his pond, birds and animals, how could he have pleasure alone?"
10056	Am I eminently worthy and wise?--who is there then among men whom I will not bear with?
10056	And am I the great Monarch of the line of Han?
10056	And if it should happen that my services were enlisted, I might create for him another East Chow-- don''t you think so?"
10056	And in such a case, what shall we say of his sense of harmony?"
10056	And is not attacking the evil in one''s self, and not the evil which is in others, a way of reforming dissolute habits?
10056	And moreover what permanent preceptor could he have?"
10056	And parents, how are you restrained, In this so dreadful day?
10056	And since only with death it is done with, is not the way long?"
10056	And though I should fail to have a grand funeral over me, I should hardly be left on my death on the public highway, should I?"
10056	And what does he account next, as that about which he may be indifferent?
10056	And what harm, I ask, can a man do to the sun or the moon, by wishing to intercept himself from either?
10056	And where is the wisdom of those who choose an abode where it does not abide?
10056	And why can not they do so?
10056	And yet the people of the neighboring kings do not decrease, nor do my people increase-- how is this?"
10056	And you are a follower of a learned man who withdraws from his chief; had you not better be a follower of such as have forsaken the world?"
10056	Another day, when he was again standing alone and I was hurrying past across the vestibule, he said to me,''Are you learning the Rules of Propriety?''
10056	Are there no dice and chess players?
10056	Are we now with them in 402?]
10056	Assuming that the words were good, and that none withstood them, would not that also be good?
10056	Attended once by the two disciples Yen Yuen and Tsz- lu, he said,"Come now, why not tell me, each of you, what in your hearts you are really after?"
10056	But I have seen my lord again;-- Should not my heart rejoice?
10056	But had there been none of superior quality in Lu, how should this man have attained to this excellence?"
10056	But how is it that this heart has in it what is equal to the attainment of the Royal sway?"
10056	But if they can not exert themselves to expel the barbarians, why call for the princess to propitiate them?
10056	But so long as Heaven does not allow it to perish, what can the men of K''wang do to me?"
10056	But soon what changes may betide?
10056	But though Ts''e be narrow and small, how should I grudge a bull?
10056	But what had disciples of Buddha to do with hunting and taking life?
10056	But with such uncommon attractions, what chance has kept you from our sight?
10056	But,"said he,"what need of such in these days?
10056	But-- when the people have not enough, who will allow their prince all that he wants?"
10056	Can any be other than pleased with words of gentle suasion?
10056	Can any one refuse to exhort, who is true- hearted?"
10056	Can my suffering''scape their ken?
10056	Can this man have enjoyed the three years of loving care from his parents?"
10056	Can ye not devise a way to send out these foreign troops, without yielding up the princess for the sake of peace?
10056	Can ye withhold Your sympathy, who lately reigned?
10056	Ch''ang- tsü said,"Who is the person driving the carriage?"
10056	Chung- ne said,''Was he not without posterity who first made wooden images to bury with the dead?''
10056	Commenting on these lines the Master said,"There can hardly have been much''thought going out,''What does distance signify?"
10056	Confucius gave him a seat, and among other inquiries he asked,"How is your master managing?"
10056	Covering the jujubes the dolichos grows, The graves many dragon- plants cover; But where is the man on whose breast I''d repose?
10056	Do I not night and day, Revere great Heaven, That thus its favor may To Chow be given?
10056	Does Heaven indeed speak?"
10056	Does he investigate matters?
10056	Does that coincide with your remark?"
10056	Does your Majesty know the way of the growing grain?
10056	Dost think that my thoughts go not out to thee?
10056	During life I am determined to have abundance of riches; what care I for the curses of mankind after my death?
10056	From them our thoughts quick to our husbands pass?
10056	From what quarter come such superior charms?
10056	Fâ- hien first spoke assuringly to them, and then slowly and distinctly asked them,"Who are you?"
10056	Give me a cup from that gilt vase-- When shall this longing end in sight?
10056	Had he not plenty of ladies in his palace, of whom he might have sent me one?
10056	He asked further,"What country is this?"
10056	He asked,"Can any one refuse to toil for those he loves?
10056	He replied,"If I act in a straightforward way in serving men, whither in these days should I go, where I should not be thrice dismissed?
10056	He said,"I have heard that superior men show no partiality; are they, too, then, partial?
10056	He then asked,"What are you looking for among these hills?"
10056	His face beamed with pleasure, and he said laughingly,"To kill a cock-- why use an ox- knife?"
10056	His rule is-- covet nought, none hate;-- How can his steps from goodness stray?
10056	How am I to be strung up like that kind of thing-- and live without means?"
10056	How are such to come from book- learning?"
10056	How can sorrow from my heart In a case like this depart?
10056	How can such a thing as entrapping the people be done under the rule of a benevolent man?"
10056	How can they know, who never try To learn whence comes our woe?
10056	How can your Majesty have such a desire on account of them?"
10056	How else could all your evil dreams And slanders work their way?
10056	How goes the night?
10056	How goes the night?
10056	How in our absence shall their wants be met?
10056	How indeed could such as he be equalled?"
10056	How is this?
10056	How know we what difference there may be in them in the future from what they are now?
10056	How may a master play fast and loose in his methods of instruction?
10056	How shall our parents find their wonted food?
10056	How shall our parents their requirements get?
10056	How should I derive pleasure from these things?
10056	How should I have the ambition?"
10056	How should they know who never try To learn whence comes our woe?
10056	How should your carriages, large or little, get along without your whipple- trees or swing- trees?"
10056	I am but a woman; how shall I succeed in being the first to see him?"
10056	I know not about his good- naturedness; but at any rate what need of that gift?"
10056	I never can ask''What of this?''
10056	I replied,''It will be settled by being united under one sway,''"''Who can so unite it?''
10056	I should say he was not a man who had much good- will in him-- eh?"
10056	I turn my gaze to the great sky;-- When shall this drought be done, and I Quiet and restful be?"
10056	If Kung- si were to become an unimportant assistant at these functions, who could become an important one?"
10056	If he be unable to rectify himself, how is he to rectify others?"
10056	If he knew the Rules of Propriety, who is there that does not know them?"
10056	If there be no reverential feeling in the matter, what is there to distinguish between the cases?"
10056	If these, then, also make an administrator, how am I to take your words about being an administrator?"
10056	If with one part you try to subdue the other eight, what is the difference between that and Tsow''s contending with Ts''oo?
10056	If you felt pained by its being led without any guilt to the place of death, what was there to choose between a bull and a sheep?"
10056	If you, sir, as a leader show correctness, who will dare not to be correct?"
10056	If, on the other hand, he habituate himself to impetuosity of mind, and show it also in his way of doing things, is he not then over- impetuous?"
10056	In archery What man with him can vie?
10056	In eager pursuit of her, I have reached the imperial palace.--Is not this she?
10056	In his case, what is the use of reprimand?
10056	In such a case, who will oppose your Majesty?
10056	In the core of my heart I love him, but say, Whence shall I procure him the wants of the day?
10056	In the core of my heart do I love him, but say, Whence shall I procure him the wants of the day?
10056	In the course of conversation Yen Yu said,"Does the Master take the part of the Prince of Wei?"
10056	In the gentleman is there indeed such variety of ability?
10056	Is an exception to be made here?
10056	Is it not because you show yourself so smart a speaker, now?"
10056	Is it not so indeed?
10056	Is not his way of arriving at things different from that of others?"
10056	Is not this the Emperor, my sovereign?
10056	King Seuen of Ts''e asked, saying,"May I be informed by you of the transactions of Hwan of Ts''e and Wan of Ts''in?"
10056	Know ye in what place she grieves, listening like me to the screams of the wild bird?
10056	Laid is the bamboo mat on rush mat square;-- Here shall he sleep, and, waking, say,"Divine What dreams are good?
10056	Let your Majesty likewise make benevolence and righteousness your only themes-- Why must you speak of profit?"
10056	May I not as well give up?"
10056	May I request that you proceed against him?"
10056	Mencius continued,"Is there any difference between doing it with a sword and with governmental measures?"
10056	Mencius replied,"If the people of Tsow were fighting with the people of Ts''oo, which of them does your Majesty think would conquer?"
10056	Mencius replied,"Is there any difference between killing a man with a stick and with a sword?"
10056	Mencius replied,"Why must your Majesty used that word''profit''?
10056	Mencius resumed,"Are you led to desire it because you have not enough of rich and sweet food for your mouth?
10056	Mencius said,"May I hear from you what it is that your Majesty greatly desires?"
10056	Might he be called philanthropic?"
10056	Might he then learn something of gardening?
10056	Min Tsz- k''ien observed,"How if it were repaired on the old lines?"
10056	No brother lives with whom my cause to plead;-- Why not perform for me the helping deed?
10056	No brother lives with whom my cause to plead;-- Why not perform for me the helping deed?
10056	No food is left our parents to supply; When we are gone, on whom can they rely?
10056	Now suppose some one got to know you, what then?"
10056	O azure Heaven, from out thy deeps Why look in silence down?
10056	O azure Heaven, that shinest there afar, When shall our homes receive us from the war?
10056	O azure Heaven, that shinest there afar, When shall our homes receive us from the war?
10056	O azure Heaven, that shinest there afar, When shall our homes receive us from the war?
10056	O how is it, I long to know, That he, my lord, forgets me so?
10056	O how is it, I long to know, That he, my lord, forgets me so?
10056	O how is it, I long to know, That he, my lord, forgets me so?
10056	O noble chiefs, who then the West adorned, Would ye have thus neglected me and scorned?
10056	Of Wei- shang Kau he said,"Who calls him straightforward?
10056	On going in to him, that disciple began,"What sort of men were Peh- I and Shuh Ts''i?"
10056	On one occasion he exclaimed,"Heaven begat Virtue in me; what can man do unto me?"
10056	Once the Master said,"Because we allow that a man''s words have something genuine in them, are they necessarily those of a superior man?
10056	Once when the stabling was destroyed by fire, he withdrew from the Court, and asked,"Is any person injured?"
10056	Or it is,''The study of Music requires it''--''Music requires it''; but do not these predilections for bells and drums require it?"
10056	Person slighted, life all blighted, What can the future prove?
10056	Regard you only me?
10056	Sad dreams returned to our lonely pillow; we thought of her through the night: Her verdant tomb remains-- but where shall we seek her self?
10056	Said he,"It is a year of dearth, and there is an insufficiency for Ways and Means-- what am I to do?"
10056	Shall I become a carriage driver, or an archer?
10056	Should I deceive Heaven?
10056	Should we oppose the Tartars, and be defeated, what will remain to us?
10056	So when his desire is the virtue of humaneness, and he attains it, how shall he then be covetous?
10056	Some one asked,"What say you of the remark,''Requite enmity with kindness''?"
10056	Some one thereupon remarked,"Who says that the son of the man of Tsou[ 8] understands about ceremonial?
10056	Some one, speaking to Confucius, inquired,"Why, sir, are you not an administrator of government?"
10056	The Master added,"Where there is found, upon introspection, to be no chronic disease, how shall there be any trouble?
10056	The Master asked him,"Would it be a satisfaction to you-- that returning to better food, that putting on of fine clothes?"
10056	The Master heard of this, and mentioning it to his disciples he said,"What then shall I take in hand?
10056	The Master replied,"Where there is scarcely the ability to minister to living men, how shall there be ability to minister to the spirits?"
10056	The Master''s reply was,"In a case where there is a father or elder brother still left with you, how should you practise all you hear?"
10056	The bird, although a creature small, Upon its mate depends; And shall we men, who rank o''er all, Not seek to have our friends?
10056	The followers introduced him; and, on leaving, he said to them,"Sirs, why grieve at his loss of office?
10056	The king asked,"How may the difference between him who does not do a thing and him who is not able to do it be graphically set forth?"
10056	The king laughed and said,"What really was my mind in the matter?
10056	The king said,"Is such an one as poor I competent to love and protect the people?"
10056	The king said,"May I hear what they will be?"
10056	The king said,"Of what kind must his virtue be who can attain to the Royal sway?"
10056	The man of my heart is away and I mourn-- What home have I, lonely and weeping?
10056	The minister replied,"So long as the people have enough left for themselves, who of them will allow their prince to be without enough?
10056	The three other disciples having gone out, leaving Tsang Sin behind, the latter said,"What think you of the answers of those three?"
10056	They asked in reply whether, if they did so, they should omit the consecration of the bell, but the king said,"How can that be omitted?
10056	They replied,"Who are you that say you are our mother?"
10056	Tigers do we care to be?
10056	To his disciples he once said,"Do you look upon me, my sons, as keeping anything secret from you?
10056	To the disciple Tsz- lu the Master said,"Shall I give you a lesson about knowledge?
10056	To the great sky I look with pain;-- Why do these grievous sorrows rain On my devoted head?
10056	Tsz- chang in a conversation with Confucius asked,"What say you is essential for the proper conduct of government?"
10056	Tsz- k''in asked of Pih- yu,"Have you heard anything else peculiar from your father?"
10056	Tsz- kung asked,"I suppose a gentleman will have his aversions as well as his likings?"
10056	Tsz- kung asked,"What of me, then?"
10056	Tsz- kung asked,"What say you, sir, of the poor who do not cringe and fawn; and what of the rich who are without pride and haughtiness?"
10056	Tsz- kung put to him the question,"Is there one word upon which the whole life may proceed?"
10056	Tsz- kung was consulting him, and asked,"What say you of a person who was liked by all in his village?"
10056	Tsz- lu inquired of him,"Have you seen my Master, sir?"
10056	Tsz- lu rejoined,"But he will have the people and their superiors to gain experience from, and there will be the altars; what need to read books?
10056	Tsz- lu then put his question to Kieh- nih; and the latter asked,"Who are you?"
10056	Tsz- lu used always to be humming over the lines--"From envy and enmity free, What deed doth he other than good?"
10056	Tsz- lu was averse to this, and said,"You can never go, that is certain; how should you feel you must go to that person?"
10056	Tsz- lu, with indignation pictured on his countenance, exclaimed,"And is a gentleman to suffer starvation?"
10056	Wang- sun Kiá asked him once,"What says the proverb,''Better to court favor in the kitchen than in the drawing- room''?"
10056	Was it not, however, just like him-- that remark of the Chief?"
10056	We have complied with all our minister''s propositions-- shall they not, then, accede to ours?
10056	Well, are not filial piety and friendly subordination among brothers a root of that right feeling which is owing generally from man to man?"
10056	Were I to adopt crooked ways in their service, why need I leave the land where my parents dwell?"
10056	Were not my forefathers men?
10056	Were the Empress Leuhow alive-- let her utter a word-- which of them would dare to be of a different opinion?
10056	What can I say-- a poor fellow like me?
10056	What can I say-- a poor fellow like me?
10056	What can I say-- a poor fellow like me?
10056	What can Liáu do against Destiny?"
10056	What can we do?"
10056	What course is to be pursued to accomplish this?"
10056	What did he indeed do?
10056	What does a master, in his methods of teaching, consider first in his precepts?
10056	What find we on the Chung- nan hill?
10056	What has he to do with the Path of Wisdom?
10056	What in his angling did he catch?
10056	What is meant by that?"
10056	What is the use of all that?"
10056	What lady plays there?
10056	What need to turn his hand to husbandry?
10056	What place is this?
10056	What say you of him?"
10056	What say you of him?"
10056	What the cause?
10056	What was his meaning?"
10056	What would you think if these, because they had run but fifty paces, should laugh at those who ran a hundred paces?"
10056	When Tsz- yu became governor of Wu- shing, the Master said to him,"Do you find good men about you?"
10056	When a rhinoceros or tiger breaks out of its cage-- when a jewel or tortoise- shell ornament is damaged in its casket-- whose fault is it?"
10056	When have they employed a single day in the service of their prince?
10056	When he selects for them such labors as it is possible for them to do, and exacts them, who will then complain?
10056	When he was asked about spiritual beings, he remarked,"If we can not even know men, how can we know spirits?"
10056	When it does so, who can keep it back?
10056	When shall we back from this service be led?
10056	When the Master heard of this he remarked,"Does that high official know me?
10056	When the music- master had left, Tsz- chang said to him,"Is that the way to speak to the music- master?"
10056	When they are so bent, who will be able to keep them back?"
10056	When we are gone, who will to them be good?
10056	When will he come to heal its smart?
10056	When you changed a large one for a small, how should they know the true reason?
10056	Where can I fly?
10056	Where could be found to share our prince''s state, So fair, so virtuous, and so fit a mate?
10056	Where seek repose?
10056	Where the ability to govern thus is wanting, what has such a ruler to do with the Rules of Propriety?
10056	Which of them need be rinsed?
10056	Which of them will drive back for us these foreign troops?
10056	Who buried were in duke Muh''s grave, Alive to awful death consigned?
10056	Who buried were in duke Muh''s grave, Alive to awful death consigned?
10056	Who buried were in duke Muh''s grave, Alive to awful death consigned?
10056	Who dares despise your cattle too?
10056	Who planned, and helped those slanderers vile, My name with base lies to defile?
10056	Whom should I delude, if I were to pretend to have officials under me, having none?
10056	Why do we brand him in our satire here?
10056	Why such rectification?"
10056	Why upon me has come this drought?
10056	Why walks no one by these guiding principles?
10056	Wi- shang Mau accosted Confucius, saying,"Kiu, how comes it that you manage to go perching and roosting in this way?
10056	With dignity in presence of them all, My conduct marked, my goodness who shall scout?
10056	Within the precincts of the palace, as without them, who is there but bows before me-- who is there but trembles at my approach?
10056	Would he go down after him?"
10056	Would they not indeed be sages, who could take in at once the first principles and the final developments of things?"
10056	Would you guard it carefully in a casket and store it away, or seek a good price for it and sell it?"
10056	Ye travellers, who forever hurry by, Why on me turn the unsympathizing eye?
10056	Ye travellers, who forever hurry by, Why on me turn the unsympathizing eye?
10056	Ye whom I constantly revere, Why do I this endure?
10056	Yen Yu asked him,"Seeing they are so numerous, what more would you do for them?"
10056	[_ Hears the lute._] Is not that some lady''s lute?
10056	[_ Hears the wild fowl''s[ 2] cry_] Hark, the passing fowl screamed twice or thrice!--Can it know there is no one so desolate as I?
10056	[_ Seeing Maouyenshow_] What person are you?
10056	and the inferior officers and the common people will say,''What is to be done to profit our persons?''
10056	and which need not?
10056	and''What of that?''
10056	exclaimed the Master,"are we to say that the spirits of T''ai- shan have not as much discernment as Lin Fang?"
10056	how long has Tsz- lu''s conduct been false?
10056	how shall there be any apprehension?"
10056	is an exception to be made here?
10056	it is to begin in others?"
10056	it was Hwúi, was it not?
10056	or are the facts given him?"
10056	or because there are not voices and sounds enough to fill your ears?
10056	or because you have not enough of attendants and favorites to stand before you and receive your orders?
10056	or because you have not enough of beautifully colored objects to satisfy your eyes?
10056	or because you have not enough of light and warm clothing for your body?
10056	or words carrying only an outward semblance and show of gravity?"
10056	said he;"if I am not to do so for him, then-- for whom else?"
10056	said he;"not that: he married three rimes, and he was not a man who restricted his official business to too few hands-- how could he be miserly?"
10056	the great officers will say,''What is to be done to profit our families?''
10056	when shall I again behold your Majesty?
10056	whom do I over- praise?
10056	~In Praise of a Ruler of Ts''in~ What trees grow on the Chung- nan hill?
10056	~The Condition of King Seuen''s Flocks~ Who dares to say your sheep are few?
10056	~The King''s Anxiety for His Morning Levée~ How goes the night?
10056	~There is a Proper Way for Doing Everything~ In hewing an axe- shaft, how must you act?
