The Doctrine of the Mean · 2 of 33

Chapter 2

Chung-ni said, "The superior man embodies the course of the Mean; the mean man acts contrary to the course of the Mean. "The superior man's embodying the course of the Mean is because he is a superior man, and so always maintains the Mean. The mean man's acting contrary to the course of the Mean is because he is a mean man, and has no caution."
