子曰:”吾十有五而志乎学,三十而立,四十而不惑,五十而知天命,六十耳顺,七十而从心所欲不逾矩.” The master ssaid, At fifteen I set my heart upon learning. At thirty, I planted my feet firm upon the ground. At forty, I no longer suffered fromperplexities. At fifty, I knew what were the biddings of heaven. At sixty, I heard them with docile ear. At seventy, I could follow the dictates of my own heart; for what I destred no longer overstepped the boundaries of right. |
