2.142

子曰。夫孝德之本也。德者福慧仁慈之謂也（德者得也。謂得乎善美正大純一之稱。福者安享顯榮百順之義。慧者性通理解曉達之謂。仁者心之德愛之理。慈者柔善寬容於物）。

The Master said: 'Filial piety is the foundation of virtue.' Virtue means blessing, wisdom, humaneness, and compassion ('Virtue' [de] means 'attainment' [de], meaning obtaining that which is called good, beautiful, upright, great, pure, and unified. 'Blessing' carries the meaning of peaceful enjoyment, glory, and all things being smooth. 'Wisdom' means that one's nature is clear, understanding principles, and perceptive. 'Humaneness' is the virtue of the mind and the principle of love. 'Compassion' is gentleness, goodness, and broad lenience toward beings).
