XV, xxvIi, XXVIIL TIlE ANALECTS, not to find out the cause of popular like or dislike may leave the mind darkened by prejudice. L. Whefl the multitude hate a man, it is necessary to examine into the ease etc. Z. Si multitudo odit quempiam, omnino examinandus etc. K. When a man is unpopular it is necessary to find out why people hate him. Couv. Quand la haine ou la faveur s'attache A un homme, il faut examiner sa conduite, avant de juger s'il est digne etc. 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.
