Etymology
From the Analects, Book 6 (《論語·雍也》):
子貢曰：「如有博施於民而能濟眾，何如？可謂仁乎？」子曰：「何事於仁，必也聖乎！堯舜其猶病諸！夫仁者，己欲立而立人，己欲達而達人。能近取譬，可謂仁之方也已。」 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
子贡曰：「如有博施于民而能济众，何如？可谓仁乎？」子曰：「何事于仁，必也圣乎！尧舜其犹病诸！夫仁者，己欲立而立人，己欲达而达人。能近取譬，可谓仁之方也已。」 [Classical Chinese, simp.]- From: The Analects of Confucius, c. 475 – 221 BCE, translated based on James Legge's version
- Zǐgòng yuē: “Rú yǒu bó shī yú mín ér néng jì zhòng, hérú? Kěwèi rén hū?” Zǐyuē: “Hé shì yú rén, bì yě shèng hū! YáoShùn qí yóu bìng zhū! Fú rén zhě, jǐ yù lì ér lì rén, jǐ yù dá ér dá rén. Néng jìn qǔ pì, kěwèi rén zhī fāng yě yǐ.”
- Zigong said, "Suppose the case of a man extensively conferring benefits on the people, and able to assist all, what would you say of him? Might he be called perfectly virtuous?" The Master said, "Why speak only of virtue in connection with him? Must he not have the qualities of a sage? Even Yao and Shun were still solicitous about this. Now the man of perfect virtue, wishing to be established himself, seeks also to establish others; wishing to be enlarged himself, he seeks also to enlarge others. To be able to judge of others by what is nigh in ourselves - this may be called the art of virtue."
