【原文】 

子曰：“笃信好学，守死善道。危邦不入，乱邦不居。天下有道则见，无道则隐。邦有道，贫且贱焉，耻也；邦无道，富且贵焉，耻也。” 

【白话】 

孔子说：“坚信而好学此道，君子求善其道至死不变。危邦不进入，乱邦不居住。天下有道的时候就现于世，天下无道的时候就隐其身。国家有道之时，贫穷而低贱，这是可耻的；国家无道之时，富有而高贵，这也是可耻的。”

Confucius said: “To hold fast in faith and delight in the Way — this is the path of the gentleman; he cultivates it to the end of his days, unmoved in heart. He enters not a state in peril, nor dwells in a land in disorder. When the Way prevails under Heaven, he shows himself in service; when the Way is lost, he hides himself away. In a state where the Way prevails, poverty and low station are a disgrace; in a state without the Way, riches and honor are a disgrace.”
