CHAPTER XXVIII.--A MAN BROADENS HIS
PATHS, NOT HIS PATHS tlIM.----This aphorism sententious
and apparently fallacious has a sense in which it
may be true. Mere principles are dead things without
inherent vitalising power ; the power is in the living man,
never in the principle. Another version might read : " It
is the man who can magnify his ways, not his ways that
magnify him." C. P_2__ _J _ _:_ 4J_, To broaden
and enlarge, develop. By j_ is meant ru'le of right living,
religion, and in this sense C. says )_ #_ ,_, _ _ _,']._t_
J_, Jl_ 51"(i_ JV 3.; .]_ -I_, Apart from the man
there is no such tiling as tao (path of duty), and apart from
lao there is no such thing as the man ; but the mind of man
is sentient, while the inanimate body tao is incapable of
action, fllerefore, etc. L. A man can enlarge the princi-
ples wlzict_ he follows ; those principles do not enlarge the
man. Z. Homo potest amplificare doctlinam etc. K
It is the man that can make his religion, or the principles
he professes great etc. Couv. L'homme peut .d_velopper
et pertectionner ses vertus naturelles ; les vertus natureIles
ne rera:lent pas l'homme parfait (s'il ne fait aucun effort).
