孟子曰：“君子深造［1］之以道，欲其自
得之也。自得之，则居之安；居之安，则资［2］
之深；资之深，则取之左右逢其原［3］，故君
子欲其自得之也。”
Mencius said, “The superior man makes
his advances in what he is learning with deep
earnestness and by the proper course, wishing to
get hold of it as in himself. Having got hold of it in
himself, he abides in it calmly and firmly. Abiding in
it calmly and firmly, he reposes a deep reliance on it.
Reposing a deep reliance on it, he seizes it on the left
and right, meeting everywhere with it as a fountain
from which things flow. It is on this account that
the superior man wishes to get hold of what he is
learning as in himself.”
