Suppose that there is an individual
who can be entrusted with the charge of a young orphan prince,
and can be commissioned with authority over a state of a hundred li,
and whom no emergency however great can drive from his principles
– is such a man a superior man?
He is a superior man indeed.
可以托六尺之孤，
可以寄百里之命，
临大节而不可夺也。
君子人与？
君子人也。
